Questions

How many calories are in Fava Bean Salad?

One serving (the recipe makes 4) is about 220 calories, with 9 g protein, 26 g carbohydrate and 10 g fat, plus 8 g fiber and 480 mg sodium. The figures are estimates computed from the ingredient list.

Can I freeze Fava Bean Salad?

It is not a good candidate. The base of Fava Bean Salad is fava beans, which holds up: it keeps three to four days refrigerated and tastes better after a few hours, once the dressing has soaked in. Hold back a spoonful of dressing to freshen it before serving. It does not freeze.

Can I halve or double Fava Bean Salad?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Halved, the fava beans drops from 2 cans to 1 can; doubled, it is 4 cans. Every line in this entry carries its half and double quantity, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. When doubling on the stovetop, use your widest pan or work in two batches so the food sears instead of steaming.
