Hominy is a very flavorful, yet unique ingredient found in traditional Mexican and southern foods. Made from dried kernels of corn that have been treated to make them puff, it has an almost legume-like texture and deep corn flavor. This recipe is full of color and flavors that complement the hominy like sweet corn, zucchini and bell peppers. Feel free to use any fresh, colorful vegetables in this recipe to make it your own. Served hot or cold, this side dish can also be a meatless main. It's a great dish for cookouts and potlucks as it highlights the best of summer vegetables. Serve alongside some grilled chicken or with a nice fillet of salmon.
