Ingredients
- 4 ears of corn, grilled and cut from the cobs
- 1 ½ cups lima beans, cooked or canned
- 1 cup tempeh bacon, cut into bite-sized pieces
- ½ cup red onions, diced
- 1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in halves
- ½ cup baby bell peppers, sliced thin
- ½ cup tofu feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 recipe avocado ranch dressing
- 8 cups Boston lettuce (optional) torn or chopped into bite-sized pieces
Instructions
Grilled Corn
- Preheat the grill to 400 degrees.
- Remove the husks from the ears of corn.
- Place the corn directy on the grill grates and close the cover.
- Rotate the corn every 5 minutes for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the corn from the grill and allow it to cool before cutting the corn from the cobs.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the kernels off the corn cobs and set aside.
- If using canned corn, draina nd rinse.
- If using frozen corn, cook according to the package instructions, drain and allow to cool.
Other Cooked Ingredients
- Cook the tempeh bacon according to the instructions, allow to cool,and cut into bite-sized pieces.
- Prepare the tofu feta cheese, according to the instructions, allow to cool, and crumble.
- Cook the lima beans according to the package instruction. Or, if using canned beans, rinse and drain.
Preparing the Salad
- Chop the lettuce and place on the base of a platter.
- Scatter the corn, lima beans, tempeh bacon, and assorted vegetables on the lettuce bed.
- Sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder and paprika.
- Top with feta cheese.
- Serve with avocado ranch or dressing of choice.
Notes
- Succotash can be served on a bed of lettuce or as a lettuce-free salad. And it tastes fabulous with vegetables as a dip, a topping for tacos, or Bruschetta.
- For easy meal prep, prepare the cooked ingredients in advance.
- As a shortcut, purchase vegan feta cheese and tempeh bacon instead of making your own.
- Do not cook frozen lima beans in the microwave. Instead, cook them according to the stovetop directions. The microwave dries the beans out.
- Lima beans and butter beans are the same.
- I suggest using avocado ranch dressing, but I also like vegan ranch dressing or oil-free Italian dressing with this succotash recipe.
- For a more traditional succotash recipe, omit the lettuce.
