summer succotash salad always a big hit here, and you can vary the ingredients and dressing to suit a 'theme' if there is one.
fresh corn off cob
chopped heirloom tomatoes
fresh butter beans/black eyed peas/lady peas
celery
diced spring onions
'baby' asparagus spears
parsley
Dressings I've done have been a Mex theme with the usual - cilantro, lime,cumin, cayenne, sherry vinegar, oil; Italian w/fresh chopped basil, oregano and white wine vinegar (red wine and balsamic I've found to be too 'heavy' for this light salad); 'down south', with cider vinegar, a little sugar, fresh chives and chervil.
