Lima Bean & Chickpea Salad image

I needed something unique to take to a cookout and wanted to keep it fresh and vegetarian. This is an original recipe (aka I just made it up :) ) But it turned out delish! This would be great as a lunch, side dish or snack - best served cold or room temperature. Enjoy!

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the sweet and tangy dressing, and they don't even notice the lima beans.
