Ingredients

• 2 cups Lima beans (fresh or frozen)
• 2 cups Corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.5 cup Red onion, finely chopped

• 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

If using fresh lima beans, bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the beans for 3-5 minutes until tender. If using frozen lima beans, cook according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.

Step 2

If using fresh corn, remove the kernels from the cob. If using frozen corn, thaw it, and if using canned corn, drain and rinse. Set the corn aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked lima beans, corn, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and parsley.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.

Step 5

Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 6

Let the salad sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld, or refrigerate for up to 4 hours for a chilled salad.

Step 7

Serve the salad as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
