Lima Bean & Chickpea Salad image

I needed something unique to take to a cookout and wanted to keep it fresh and vegetarian. This is an original recipe (aka I just made it up :) ) But it turned out delish! This would be great as a lunch, side dish or snack - best served cold or room temperature. Enjoy!

1 (16 ounce) bag frozen lima beans

4 tablespoons lemon juice
3 tablespoons olive oil

  • Pour garbanzo beans/chickpeas into strainer, add lima beans and rinse both with cold water.
