This easy, fresh tasting dish is great for picnics, cookouts and camping! Butter beans, as they’re typically called in the South, are said by some to be the same as lima beans, but in my experience butter beans are smaller and tastier than large lima beans, though baby lima beans come close. You can get creative with bean salad and serve it in lettuce, cabbage or raddichio cups. –RR
2 cans butter beans, rinsed and drained (15 ounces each)
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 green bell pepper, diced
