How to Make Fava Bean Salad With Jamon And Fresh Mint
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup of fresh fava beans (or 1 cup shelled edamame) and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
- Immediately drain the beans and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Gently peel the fava beans if using (skip this step if using edamame).
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked fava beans, 2 cups chopped escarole, 4 ounces thinly sliced jamón, 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint, and 2 finely chopped shallots.
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and a pinch of sugar until emulsified.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss to coat evenly.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the freshest flavors.
