Questions

How long does Lima Bean Salad take?

As written, 20 minutes: 15 of prep and 5 of cooking. The longest single stretch is the hands-off wait in step 4, 30 minutes. That wait sits outside the stated prep and cook times, so plan around it.

How do I know when Lima Bean Salad is done?

Go by the cues in the method rather than the clock. Step 4: cook until thoroughly coated.

Is there a substitute for Dijon mustard in Lima Bean Salad?

The entry for Lima Bean Salad calls for 1 tsp Dijon mustard. In its place: Whole-grain or yellow mustard with a few drops of white wine vinegar. Yellow is milder, so use a little more.

Is Lima Bean Salad gluten-free?

Yes. As written, nothing in the ingredient list for Lima Bean Salad is wheat, barley or rye. Gluten hides in packaged goods, so read the label on the mustard.

Can I freeze Lima Bean Salad?

It is not a good candidate. The base of Lima Bean Salad is lima beans, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. It does not freeze.
