Lima Bean And Bacon Salad Recipe - Cooking Index
This recipe is one of Times test kitchen director Donna Deane's family favorites. Her mother would almost always make this salad for barbecues and family gatherings. As is common in the Midwest, she would toss the salad with Miracle Whip salad dressing, not mayonnaise. If you prefer mayonnaise, add more pickle or a dash of vinegar for flavor.
