This salad is one of my family's favorites. It tastes even better the next day, after the lima beans have marinated in the dressing.—Sue Thompson, Chester, Maryland

Tip

Cooking Dried Beans

When cooking dried navy or lima beans in a recipe with tomatoes, the acidity of the tomatoes slows down the cooking of dry beans. So tomato or tomato products should be added after the beans are nearly tender. Salt can also inhibit the cooking and should be added at the same time as the tomatoes.

I made it just as the recipe directs. I wouldn't change a thing. Very good!

This salad is very good. I chopped the onion and omitted the mushrooms. I used soy beans and added corn as well. Very delicious
