Directions Fava and Butter Bean Salad
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the fava beans and cook until skins are translucent and easy to pull away, about 6 minutes. Transfer beans with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice water, cool to room temperature, 1 to 2 minutes. Squeeze each bean at one end to remove the bean from it's skin, discard skins and reserve beans.
Whisk lemon juice, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper together in a large bowl, slowly whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil into lemon juice mixture until dressing is thick and emulsified.
Stir fava beans, butter beans, roasted red peppers, and mint into dressing, toss to coat beans completely. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the top and season salad with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 1 hour.
