Fava Bean Asparagus And Arugula Salad
I make this with cooked, shelled edamame (soybeans) that i get at the super wal-mart. It's already cooked and just has to be added to the asparagus, not blanched first. I also don't divide the salad. I just put it on a platter as listed in the directions.
Steps
Cut asparagus stalk on a long diagonal into 1 / 8 inch slices , leaving 1 inch long.
Blanch asparagus.
Immediately transfer to ice water with a slotted spoon to stop cooking.
Return water to a boil and blanch fava beans for 1 minute.
Transfer to ice water to stop cooking.
Drain asparagus.
Toss beans and asparagus ,.
Divide among 4 plates.
Toss arugula with remaining oil and salt and pepper to taste.
Mound on top of vegetables.
Shave thin slices of cheese over salad and drizzle with vinegar.
