Sheila Lushkins, co founder of the Silver Palate empire, gives us a bright variation on an old theme with this unusual succotash, which makes wonderful use of the fresh lima beans that come to market in late summer. If you can't wait, frozen limas, quickly cooked, are a fine substitute. Saveur Magazine, August 2008. Ingredients:
3 cups cooked baby lima beans |
3 cups fresh corn kernels, blanched |
1 cup diced peeled and seeded cucumber |
2 ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and dce |
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion |
1 scallion, with 3-inch of green thinly sliced |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard |

1/2 teaspoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon curry powder |
salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste (optional) |
3 tablespoons olive oil |
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro |
