How To Make 2 bean salad

  • Step 1

  • Step 2
    In a small bowl combine the lime juice, chipotle, 2-2 TBS olive oil and honey and whisk until emulsified. Pour this over the bean mixture and toss gently.
  • Step 3

Add the corn and lima beans and sauté until they become caramelized on the bottom (about 7 minutes) stir and scrape bottom of pan to turn vegetables over to caramelize the other side (about 3 minutes). Add this to the bean salad and mix thoroughly and refrigerate to chill.
