In early spring, start checking your local farmers’ market for fava greens, which are the leaves from the fava bean plant. They are a boon to fava bean lovers who often avoid the legume for its highly demanding prep. The leaves taste milder than the beans and are delicious in salads, contributing a touch of sweetness and acidity.
