Ingredients

4 pounds fava beans

2 cups cherry tomatoes in mixed colors and shapes

1 celery stalk thinly sliced

12 fresh mint leaves finely slivered

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 ounces pecorino romano cheese

Directions

Remove the fava beans from their pods and discard the pods.

Fill a large bowl three-fourths full of ice water and set aside.

Bring a saucepan three-fourths full of water to a boil over high heat.

Add the fava beans and boil until tender about 4 minutes.

Drain beans in a colander then transfer immediately to the ice water bath.

When cool drain again in the colander.

Using a thumb and forefinger squeeze each bean from its tough skin into a small bowl using a paring knife to make a tiny break in the skin at the edge of the bean first if necessary.

In a large bowl toss together the fava beans, tomatoes, celery and mint.

Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the top then season with salt and pepper and toss again to coat.

Divide the salad evenly among individual plates.

Using a vegetable peeler shave the cheese evenly over the top.
