This Grilled Corn and Butter Bean Salad is an amazing mixture of fresh summer vegetables. The ingredients are very similar to a traditional Succotash, but with a mayonnaise base, the taste is very different.

Cool and Creamy Summer Side

It’s kind of the veggie salad equivalent of a potato salad. And it’s fabulously delicious. Best of all, it keeps well for 2-3 days in the refrigerator. Grilled Corn and Butter Bean Salad is cool and creamy and makes a great side for a picnic.

I changed the original recipe from Southern Living some to give it a southwestern touch with cilantro instead of basil and a little jalapeno. I also used frozen lima beans instead of butter beans, but they are very similar.

Grilled Corn and Butter Bean Salad Recipe Tips

Either white corn or yellow corn can be used. The fresher, the better.
It’s best to make this salad at least 2 hours ahead of time so that the flavors have time to blend.
Will keep in the refrigerator for about 3 days. Tastes best straight out of the refrigerator when it is very cold.

Variations and Substitutions

For additional flavor, sprinkle with a little queso fresco or feta cheese crumbles.
Greek yogurt can be used instead of mayonnaise.
Leave the jalapeno out if you don’t want it spicy.
