Fava Bean Quinoa Salad

9/7/2016

Fava beans are one of my most favorite farmers market finds and their season is always shorter than I would like to see. Yes, they require a little extra TLC to prepare since they have to be shucked and then require the removal of their tough second coating, but the time put in is far worth it. 

This simple fava bean quinoa salad is a quick and easy way to enjoy fresh favas. Both nutrient dense and full of protein, this salad is also quite healthy. Enjoy it as a side dish, place it on a bed of greens, or simply eat it alone. Either way you can't go wrong.

Fava Bean Quinoa Salad
(serves 2- can easily be doubled)
  •  1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1/2 cup cooked and prepared fresh Fava beans
 For the dressing​
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3 Tablespoons EVOO
  • salt and pepper to taste

  1. In a medium sized bowl, gently toss together cooked quinoa and fava beans. 
  2. In a small bowl, mix all dressing ingredients together. Once well incorporated, drizzle dressing over the quinoa fava mixture. Lightly toss together to evenly distribute dressing. 
  3. Serve and enjoy!
