Lima beans are the base for this creamy bean dip seasoned with lemon zest and juice and ground cumin. With just a few ingredients and 10 minutes, you can prepare this to bring to an impromptu gathering or just to make for a snack at home. Serve it with pita chips or fresh vegetables, or use it as a sandwich spread. Feel free to substitute fava or broad beans instead. If your dip is too thick, use water and extra lemon juice to thin it out to reach the desired consistency. You’ll need 1 1/2 lemons to yield enough fresh zest and juice for this dip.
