Fava Bean and Raw Artichoke Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large fresh artichoke hearts, thinly sliced or quartered*
1 pound fresh fava beans, shelled, washed, and drained
2 to 3 scallions or spring onions, to taste, white and green parts, thinly sliced
2/3 cup slit green Greek olives
1 small bunch fresh dill, snipped
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large lemon, juiced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Combine the artichokes, fava beans, scallions or spring onions, olives, and dill in serving bowl.
  • Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper and toss well with the salad. Serve immediately.
  • Note: To prepare artichokes the Greek way, cut away most of the stem, leaving about 1 inch of it intact. Have 1 or 2 cut lemons handy as you work with the artichokes, rubbing them on cut surfaces to prevent discoloration. Also have a bowl of acidulated water on hand. Snap off the tough outer leaves near the base. Hold the artichoke on its side on a cutting board and, using a sharp serrated knife, cut the artichoke crowns down to within 1 1/2 inches of the base. With a paring knife, trim the tough green exterior off the stem. Rub the artichoke with lemon. Using a teaspoon, thoroughly scrape away the hairy choke on the inside. Holding the artichoke on its side again, trim away any leaf stubs by going around the artichoke almost on a bias with the knife. Using a paring knife, trim the stem so that only its inner, tender core remains. Rub the artichoke with lemon and drop into acidulated water. Continue until all the artichokes are clean.
