I brought home some summer squash from my job at a plant nursery, decided to put it in succotash and this recipe was born. I was going to name it "Sallume Succotash" but decided to name it after my hometown because the yellow and green colors of the dish remind me of the sunny days here in beautiful San Diego.—Pat Sallume, San Diego, Califiornia

Deliciously simple recipe...! Used edamame instead of lima beans and ghee instead of butter. The taste of the vegetables shine since simple flavorings are used. Will definitely put this on my keeper list.
