This edamame succotash happens to be my new favorite side dish. It’s got a lot going for it: light, quick, healthy, and delicious. While a traditional succotash has lima beans, this recipe uses the protein-packed and more glamorous bean, edamame. I added red bell pepper, corn, red onion, and garlic to it to pack in the veggies and the flavor. Oh and did I mention it also has bacon? While the bacon adds a lot of flavor to the dish, it could definitely be left out for a vegetarian version. But if you have no reason to leave it out, definitely keep the bacon.
