- 1/2 cup grilled Portobello mushrooms, chopped
- 2 cups water
- 2 cups fresh lima beans
- 1 jalapeño
- 3 cups fresh corn
- 1 8 ounce Versatile Veggies® Diced Tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Cook bacon; drain and cool. When cooled, chop, and set aside. In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir in lima beans and simmer for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Remove seeds from jalapeño and chop; set aside. In a medium bowl, combine beans, jalapeño, corn, tomato, oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Cover and chill for a minimum of 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Sprinkle with chives just before serving. Serve with bacon on the side. (Can be served with tortillas or Tostitos for an appetizer.)
