If you can find fresh lima beans, definitely use them – substitute about 2 cups of fresh ones

I haven’t had Lima’s for so long and I love them! Now’s a good time to have a taste again:) Thanks xox
This is one of those great freezer and pantry friendly recipes isn’t it! Thanks RMW! 😀
I like this! A perfect summer salad dish!
This looks delicious. Limas are one of my favorite veggies. The salad sounds fast, easy, and satisfying.
Oh, I am a HUGE lima bean fan, but I almost always just eat them plain with a bit of butter and salt. I can’t wait to make this.
Since I know first hand how yummy your recipes are…I’m sending this to my daughter. She is a lima bean fanatic! Thank you!
What a delicious salad! It is not difficult to make but includes enough cooking to feel like it is an achievement of sorts. I replaced basil with dill as a personal preference.
