I don't know why everybody doesn't like lima beans. I mean, I thought that I didn't like them either, but I really do! Here is a great recipe for how to make a wonderful lima bean salad!!!

Lima Bean Salad
Makes 4 servings

2 1/2 cups of fresh or frozen lima beans in the shell or not

1/2 small red onion, sliced as thinly as possible
2 teaspoons of chopped fresh mint (optional)
2 teaspoons of fresh parsley, chopped
Pinch of red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper

Blanch the lima beans in a big pot of boiling salted water. Blanch for a minute, then put in a bowl of ice water, and pop them out of the shell.
Put the vinegar in a medium serving bowl, and gradually whisk in the olive oil in a steady stream until incorporated. Add the lima beans, onion, mint (optional), parsley, pepper flakes, and let stand at room temp. for 10 minutes. Taste and season with salt pepper.
