5 Tbs. Large lima beans (or other favorite pre-cooked dried beans)
4 Ripe figs

Large Lima Beans and Figs Salad
Comments
• Instead of lima beans you may use your favorite dried beans, soaked at least overnight or, better, 24 hours, and boiled, as long as they remain whole and have a fleshy consistency and texture. If not soaked, dried beans may be cooked in a pressure cooker for 50-55 minutes. When soaked 24 hours, beans cook in just 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the variety, and more evenly.
• The EVOO may be flavored. In this case I used mint flavored EVOO.
• Spike Original Magic may be used instead of sea salt.
• Freshly squeezed lemon or lime may be added to taste
Wine and Beverage Pairing
• Pairs well with aromatic white wines such as Arneis, or Ansonica and Vermentino, or grassy red from Friuli, such as Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, or Cabernet Franc.
