Spanish Tapas Bean Salad

"I love this cold served bean salad, it is even better after a day or so of marinating. If you don't like lima beans, substitute chickpeas."

  1. This was a fantastic, flavorful salad that is a great change of pace from typical bean salads. I didn't want to use dried lima beans and couldn't find any frozen ones, so I ended up using shelled edamame, which worked out perfectly. The rest of the recipe I followed exactly (except I didn't slice the olives, since they were pretty small to begin with). Great combination of flavors! Thanks for sharing this keeper (and hopefully I can find frozen lima beans one day)!
     
  2. Excellent Salad. I made this with a 12 oz. package of frozen lima beans that I cooked first. Very easy to put together. The garlic and olives really make this tasty. I bet it would also be good made with edamame instead of the limas.
     
  3. made this with canned chickpeas, and it's super easy and tasty. Thanks.
     
  4. Wow my husband and friend LOVED this salad. I enjoyed it and they said it was great and raved about it. Thanks for a keeper!

I love to cook, to feed people and to experiment. Unfortunately I have a very limited audience, so most of my creations are reserved for me alone. My BF is a sort of picky eater and all of my favorites he dislikes, so I'm learning how to get around lots of ingredients. Like mushrooms (so sad), tomatoes and onions... who cooks without onions? In this one way, it's almost a good thing that our schedules allow for only 3 meals a weeks together :-)
