Fava Shoot Salad with Walnuts

This bright and fresh salad shines a spotlight on light, tender, succulent fava shoots.

Ingredients:
4 cups packed fava shoots
2 oranges zested, segmented, and juices reserved (use zest for dressing)
2 grapefruits segmented and juices reserved
¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
½ cup toasted and chopped walnuts

Method:
1. To make the dressing, combine the reserved orange juices and grapefruit juices with the shallot, salt, pepper, and orange zest in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the oil until well blended.

2. Place the fava leaves in a large serving bowl and lightly toss with the dressing. (You might not use all of it.)

3. Divide the fava shoots among four plates and arrange the orange and grapefruit segments around the leaves. Sprinkle the feta and walnuts on top, then garnish with a few fava flowers and a pinch of orange zest on each plate.
