But can you really call it a recipe if it takes less than 5 minutes to make and it's more of an "assembling" sequence? You tell me! ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/04/IMG_4626.JPG) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/04/IMG_4627.JPG) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/04/IMG_4628.JPG) #### Ingredients for 2 generous servings - a can of lima beans (any white bean will do, do be honest), rinsed - an heirloom tomato or 2 roma tomatoes or 10 cherry tomatoes, diced - a red onion, diced - parsley or cilantro, chopped - olive oil - red wine vinegar - salt, pepper - chili flakes, optional [Unlock more recipes](#/portal/signup/free) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/04/IMG_4630-1.JPG) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/04/IMG_4632-2.JPG) ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/58/67/5867d415-55cd-4f42-962a-67b9b6110b2c/content/images/2025/04/IMG_4633-2.JPG) I start with the simple vinaigrette at the bottom of the bowl with olive oil, vinegar and salt. I then add the onion and the tomatoes, mix it and let it marinate a bit so they soak the vinaigrette flavour.
