SPICY SUCCOTASH DIP

Steps:

• Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. Add the lima beans and cook, uncovered, until very tender, about 10 minutes. Drain well and cool slightly.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet set over medium-heat. Add the onions and 1/4 teaspoon salt and cook, uncovered, until lightly browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.

Right before serving, stir the parsley into the tomato-and-corn mixture and use a slotted spoon to scoop it on top of the dip. Serve with dippers such as blue corn tortilla chips and vegetables.
