Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to boil. Peel open the fava bean pods and remove the beans. Blanch for 2 minutes in boiling water, then remove and cool quickly. Split open the pods to reveal the bright green beans inside.
In the meantime, combine all the dressing ingredients in a small jar and shake until emulsified (or whisk well in a bowl, adding the oil last in a slow stream).
Add the green beans to the boiling water and cook for a minute or so. Follow with the asparagus for an additional minute, then add the fava beans. Cook until softened but not limp, then drain and plunge everything into an ice bath.
Toss gently with the dressing to coat and serve.
