The bacon and mayo make this dish special. The old Southern vegetable salad originated with leftover fresh vegetables at the height of the summer, but it's really good using frozen veggies. Makes a tasty side for any summer meal and it's very easy to cut the recipe in half if desired. Prep time does not include chill time.

LIMA BEAN SALAD



Lima Bean Salad image

Lima beans are almost always on the menu when you visit a traditional Gullah or Low Country soul food restaurant. They've usually been slow-cooked for hours with a smoked turkey leg or ham hock. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of that way of cooking them, so this salad is my favorite way to serve lima beans. I love the tangy vinaigrette and the colorful crunchy vegetables added to the beans. This is another one of those recipes that gets better the longer it sits in the fridge.

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

One 12-ounce package frozen Fordhook lima beans, thawed
3 cups chicken broth
1 slice thick-cut bacon
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from 2 ears corn)
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 small red bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1 small green bell pepper, diced (about 1 cup)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced (about 1 cup)
4 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • For the salad: Combine the lima beans, broth and bacon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the lima beans are tender and cooked through, adding the corn during the last 2 minutes of cooking, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and discard the bacon and drain the beans and corn. Set aside to come to room temperature.
  • Make the vinaigrette: Sprinkle the garlic with about 1/4 teaspoon salt. Use the flat side of a chef's knife to press down on the garlic and drag it across the cutting board. Keep mincing, pressing and dragging the garlic until it forms a paste. Place the garlic paste in a large bowl. Add the vinegar, honey and celery seeds. Gradually whisk in the oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the lima beans and corn, tomatoes, peppers and onions and toss until combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Serve at room temperature.
