I had a bag of lima beans in the freezer that had just been sitting there so I decided to try using them in a salad.  I will be honest, I normally but don’t like lima beans, but in this salad they are delicious.

Ingredients:

Salad-

12 ounces frozen lima beans

1 cup frozen/fresh corn

3 cups chicken broth

1 cup cherry tomatoes halved

1 green pepper diced

1 bell pepper (any color) diced

½ red onion diced

5-6 radishes cut into matchsticks

Vinaigrette-

2 tablespoons lime juice plus zest from 1 lime

1/3 cup sherry vinegar

1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon honey

½ teaspoon celery seed

Directions:

1. Add chicken broth and lima beans to a medium pot and bring to a boil. 
2. Add corn after mixture begins to boil and cook 2-4 minutes until corn is tender.
3. Drain and allow to cool.
4. Add pepper, onion, tomato, and radishes to a medium bowl and mix.
5. Add lima beans and corn to the fresh vegetables and mix.
6. Add lime juice and zest, sherry vinegar, honey, and celery seed to a small bowl.  Mix well.  Then mix in the olive oil.
7. Pour vinaigrette over the salad and mix well.
8. Refrigerate until ready to serve.  Mix well to distribute dressing before serving.
9. Enjoy!
