Time 20m

Yield Four servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/4 cups sliced celery
1 1/2 cups leek rounds, white and light green parts only, washed well
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 teaspoon minced garlic
4 cups frisee, washed and dried
1/4 cup finely grated pecorino cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil and add the beans. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender but not mushy. Refresh the beans in ice water. Drain and peel the beans. You will have about 2 cups.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a medium skillet. Over high heat, cook the celery and leeks for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally; the vegetables should retain some crispness. Add the yellow pepper and cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Add the fava beans, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • To make the vinaigrette, place the lemon juice, lemon zest, remaining salt, fresh black pepper, garlic and remaining olive oil in a jar. Close the lid tightly and shake vigorously to combine.
  • To assemble the salad, pour the vinaigrette into a large bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, frisee and pecorino and toss lightly to coat evenly. Adjust the seasoning if necessary and serve immediately.

I'm not a fan of peppers, so I omitted them from the salad. It was still very good.

This is a great salad to make ahead of time. It's even better the next day.

This salad was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think it would be great with a little less lemon juice.

Loved the simplicity of this salad, yet the flavors were so pronounced. It was the perfect side dish to our grilled chicken.
