Charlotte, Thanks.  I think I would enjoy this salad a whole lot.  I need to get a can of green lima beans; I have all the other things.  Come to think of it, I have frozen green limas, so will cook them and use.  Will make tomorrow.  It should last for 3 or 4 days in the frig. JF

Thanks Ollie I don't know why I couldn't get it right. Everytime I tried to do the way you did I didn't have enough room. I think it was something I was doing wrong. Thanks agin Ollie.

Charlotte,
The message window is a little hard to work with when posting long recipes or info.
When you get to the bottom of the window, the scroll keeps pushing the view to the top and it kinda "jumps" when you scroll down.
I have not found a way to hold it to keep it from bouncing back, so, for long posts, I will either paste or type in a Word Document to format.
Then I copy everything in the Word Doc and paste it into the message window. You can always hit the preview window to see how it will look when it posts. Its not perfect but has its plus's. At least you can modify your message when you find typos (unlike Facebook). I find lots of typos in my messages especially when I am posting from my phone. I can modify it even days or months later!

Thanks Linda for the imfo, I'm just not good with the computer. I started all this PC stuff late in life. LOL

Charlotte,
I copied and pasted your recipe into a word document, the I was able to cut and paste in order to move it around and get the right order.

Next time you might want to start by typing it into a word document, then copy and paste it into the message box on this website.

Many blessings,
Ollie

Your right JF this will last several days in the frig. I think it makes for a good cool summer salad.
