First of all, lima beans are one of only 2 veggies that I don't like, so substituted flat "Italian" green beans that we'd just bought at market, cut into 2-3 inch lengths, and they worked well. Broiled tuna. Split the "dressing" to pour half over the beans, then pour the remainder over the tuna once it was placed on the beans. An easy, quick summer meal.
