*una ensalada

My parents treated Ben and I out to a fancy dinner date this week, it was such a treat - we both LOVE to go out to eat.

Our salad was so incredibly good that we recreated it the next night:

lettuce [that heirloom lettuce costco has now was perfect]
fava beans [just blanched and shelled]
pepitas [I sauteed the raw trader joe's ones in olive oil and salt]
whole mint leaves
shaved ricotta salata

red wine vinegar
honey
a very little bit of olive oil
salt+pepper
[My mom made the vinaigrette, so I don't know the proportions]


I'm telling you, it was so delicious!! Obviously I don't get the credit, but I was sure pleased that I was able to copy it so well :)
