i am constantly on the lookout for new sides to serve my clients. i want it to be in season, healthy, fresh and to taste good. this has it all. very simple to put together and the colors look so nice together, don't you think? i used lima beans for this, if your not a fan, try shelled edamame. i added some fresh corn, cut off the cob, diced roma tomatoes and fresh mint. basil would be fantastic, too. i boiled the limas for 8 minutes, meanwhile i added some fresh chopped garlic to a saute pan, tossed in the corn and cooked for about 2-3 minutes, added the limas. i threw in the tomatoes and mint off the heat . i bet a small squeeze of lemon juice would have been nice. i served this with individual turkey meatloaves with feta and sun dried tomatoes, and pan roasted cauliflower.
