I am so not into the kitchen right now. We all have phases like that, right?! I want to be outside!

But I am into this Summer Corn & Edamame Succotash Salad! The crunchy sweet corn and juicy tomatoes pair perfectly with protein-rich edamame. And I love the bite that a bit of red onion and some freshly ground black pepper lend to the whole deal.

So what’s in this edamame succotash? Corn – fresh off the cob, naturally. Juicy cherry tomatoes. Zippy red onion. And hearty edamame. Easy.

Fresh basil, along with a simple white balsamic-and-olive-oil dressing. One reader adds avocado to hers. That creamy counterpoint sounds insanely delicious to me.

I love this edamame succotash salad all by itself for a simple and satisfying lunch or dinner, but it’s also a great side – especially for potlucks.

Best of all, hardly any time in the kitchen is needed, and this corn salad is perfect for meal prep too. More time outside in the sun!

A super simple summer salad with the sweet crunch of corn, juicy tomatoes, and the protein-punch of edamame.

Ingredients

  • 2 ears fresh sweet corn (husks and silk removed (or about 1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed)
  • 1 (10-ounce) bag frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 pint 10 ounces (or about 1 1/4 cup) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 small red onion (diced)
  • 5-6 medium basil leaves (chiffonaded)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper + more to taste

Instructions

  • Set a large pot of water over high heat. Bring to a boil. Carefully add the corn cobs. Boil for three minutes. Remove with tongs and set aside to cool a bit. Add the edamame. Cook for three minutes. Drain and let cool for a bit.
  • Cut the corn kernels off the cob (I set it on end and use a large, sharp chef’s knife. Be careful!) Add them to the bowl along with the cooled edamame. Add the cherry tomatoes, onion, and basil.
  • Drizzle in the olive oil and vinegar. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • Toss well. Taste and add additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. Keeps well for 2-3 days in the refrigerator.
