3 Reviews of Zesty Lima Bean & Tomato Salad

From: Iggy

On Jul 17, 2004

I chose this recipe because it was easy to make and light to eat. I thought the sage taste was too strong, so the second time I medit it I reduced the sage to just a dash, then I carmelized the onions in lime juice and reduced the cider vinegar to 2 tablespoons and added 1 and a half tabelspoons of fresh lime juice instead. I also added a light dusting of salt, pepper, and some mixed spices.

    This disappeared quickly at dinner tonight. With fresh garden vegetables it's irresistible. I used edamame rather than limas.I didn't find the sage overwhelming and added some salt.

    That tiny little bit of dijon tang makes this a wonderful salad. I cut the recipe in half easily, and used cherry tomatoes because that's just what I had, so I'm not sure if my proportions were accurate - but I love good tomatoes so tried to use an even amount of tomato and limas. Maybe my sage is a little old, but I didn't find it overwhelming either. In fact, I was tempted to add a tinch more. But I started eating this fresh salad and felt it didn't need anything else. It's just right! Thanks for another winner, EdsGirlAngie!
