Egyptian fava bean salad, also known as bagula, is a traditional Egyptian dish made with cooked fava beans, chopped parsley, green onions, fresh mint, boiled eggs, and a tangy dressing of olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, and salt. This protein-rich salad is a mainstay of Egyptian street food, often served as a refreshing appetizer or as an energizing breakfast or lunch. The fava beans lend a creamy, nutty flavor to the salad, beautifully complemented by the crunch of the parsley and green onions and the bright notes of the mint. The dressing adds a harmonious balance of acidity, saltiness, and a subtle hint of cumin that elevates the overall flavor profile.
