For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of sumac or a pinch of red pepper flakes. If fresh fava beans are available, blanch them briefly and peel off the outer skin for an even more tender salad. This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The flavors will intensify over time. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
