Chef's Notes

Substitutions
Use red, white, or yellow onion, whichever you prefer or have on hand.

Instead of red bell pepper, use yellow or orange (they still have vitamin C!).

Instead of lima beans use black beans, chickpeas, or other beans of choice.

In place of cilantro try dill, parsley, or basil.

Add more nutrition and deliciousness
Fold in some chopped leafy greens like organic spinach or kale when you add the corn and beans.

Top with nutritional yeast.

Add more spices like a dash of cayenne pepper, cumin, or turmeric.

Sprinkle nuts or seeds on top for crunch, flavor, and nutrition.

Storage
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 days.
