Sufferin' Succotash!



Unlike Sylvester the cat, you won't be doing much suffering while enjoying this summertime salad.  Russell Cronkite, who wrote the cookbook A Return To Family Picnics, stopped by Tonia's Kitchen to talk about this super salad.  Cronkite takes four cups of  Lima beans, corn kernels, sliced summer squash and adds one cup of sweet onions and chopped dill.  He then makes a dressing with salad oil, celery seed, Dijon mustard, a little sugar and some cider vinegar.  Mix with the vegetables and leave in the refrigerator overnight.  If Sylvester had this salad, he might have forgotten about trying to eat Tweety!
