Lima Bean and Corn Salad image

The bacon and mayo make this dish special. The old Southern vegetable salad originated with leftover fresh vegetables at the height of the summer, but it's really good using frozen veggies. Makes a tasty side for any summer meal and it's very easy to cut the recipe in half if desired. Prep time does not include chill time.
