How to make it

  • 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.
