My little girl had so much fun peeling the fava bean pods. I was glad because the pods had been sitting in the fridge for over a week... too much work for me! It kept her occupied for about an hour- great activity!
I boiled about 1/2 lb of fava beans until tender, and peeled the second shell off of them.
At the same time, I boiled about a dozen small potatos (mixed variety), until tender, and cut them into chunks once they cooled. I added one diced onion, and 1 stick of celery, also diced.
For the dressing:
1 garlic clove
1 small wedge of fresh fennel (optional- I did not use)
1 tablespoons dijon mustard
4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt
a squirt of honey
1/2 cup of olive oil
I put the ingredients into a sealed jar and shake until blended.
Toss the salad with the dressing and refrigerate until ready to eat.
This potato salad was great. Even if I didn't have fava beans, the dressing is great on any potato salad. Great summer salad. Enjoy!
p.s. No, the kids didn't eat any of it... but try it anyway, my kids don't eat much of anything!
