San Diego Succotash

TOTAL TIME: Prep/Total Time: 20 min. YIELD: 6 servings.
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
