SUMMER BUTTER BEAN SALAD WITH HOT SAUCE VINAIGRETTE



Summer Butter Bean Salad with Hot Sauce Vinaigrette image

Are you wondering what butter beans are? They're what we call lima beans in the South because of their creamy, buttery texture. For this salad, I thought about succotash, a classic Soul Food dish made with butter beans, fresh corn and tomatoes, then I added a few more fresh summer veggies and herbs, plus a spicy, tangy vinaigrette. You really could add anything else from your garden or the farmers' market, like zucchini, bell peppers or snap peas-go ahead and make it your own!

MEXICAN BEAN SALAD

This is the perfect salad to take to a family reunion or potluck. It's colorful, keeps well and is full of flavor without being too spicy or vinegary. I think the Sun Vista brand of beans has the best flavor for this recipe. Passive cooking time is chill time.
