Lemony Succotash Salad

Spring fever has gotten a hold of me! I have been craving a bright and fresh cold salad to munch on during this perfect time of year, so I came up with this salad today. It is delicious!

For the salad:
8 oz frozen sweet yellow corn, thawed
8 oz frozen lima beans, thawed
8 oz frozen soybeans, thawed
1 red bell pepper, chopped (or 1/2 of a very large one)
4 green onions,
chopped flat leaf parsley, minced

For the dressing:
zest and juice of two lemons
2 t honey
2 t dijon mustard
dash of garlic powder
sea salt coarse
ground black pepper
1/3-1/2 c olive oil

Mix salad ingredents together in a pretty bowl. : ) In a separate bowl, whisk together lemon through seasoning, then add olive oil in a steady stream while whisking. This will emulsify the ingredients to a beautiful lemony dressing. Pour dressing over salad and stir thoroughly but gently. Let sit in the fridge or eat right away. Enjoy!
