Preparation

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil; prepare an ice water bath. Blanch green beans in the boiling water until bright green and crisp-tender, 4-5 minutes. Immediately transfer to the water bath to stop the cooking process. Drain thoroughly.

In a large bowl, combine green beans, lima beans, tomatoes, onions, basil, corn, avocados and jalapenos.

In a separate bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Add vinaigrette to the salad and toss to coat.
