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.
