Recipe information

  • Total Time1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield6–8 servings

Ingredients

1 cup shelled fava beans (from about 1¼ lb. pods)

8 oz. asparagus, woody ends trimmed, cut on a diagonal into 1″ pieces

5 oz. frozen shelled edamame or 10 oz. edamame pods, shelled (about 1 cup)

4 oz. French green beans, trimmed, cut into 1″ pieces

2 lemons

1 orange

2 cups extra-virgin olive oil

5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

4 sprigs thyme

2 sprigs rosemary

1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2½ tsp. Morton kosher salt

1 Tbsp. fennel seeds, lightly crushed

1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

1 tsp. sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Cook fava beans in a large pot of generously salted boiling water until pale green and tender and skins look swollen, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to a large bowl of ice water. Let cool completely, about 2 minutes. Remove from ice bath with slotted spoon and peel outer layer from fava beans; set aside.

Step 2

Combine asparagus, edamame, and green beans in the same pot of boiling water and cook until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to ice bath and let sit until cold, about 10 minutes.

Step 3

Using a vegetable peeler, remove zest from lemons, leaving as much white pith behind as possible. Cut lemons in half and squeeze juice though your hand or fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Remove peel from orange with peeler; set fruit aside for another use (or eat!).

Step 4

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium until shimmering, about 5 minutes, then remove from heat. Add garlic and let sizzle until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in lemon and orange zest, thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, salt, fennel seeds, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.

Step 5

Drain vegetables, discarding any remaining ice cubes, and add to infused room-temperature oil along with lemon juice; stir to combine. Transfer vegetables and oil to a 1½-qt. glass jar; cover and chill at least 4 hours before serving.

Notes:

Use the infused oil to dress salad greens or drizzle it over baked fish to add a boost of flavor.

Vegetables can be marinated up to 6 days ahead. Keep chilled.

Tuna salad

Tuna salad

This tuna salad is quick, healthy, and packed with flavor. Made with a creamy dressing, fresh herbs, and crunchy pickles in just 10 minutes.

Prep Time:10minutes mins
Cook Time:0minutes mins
Servings:1 serve

Ingredients

  • ▢Juice of half a lime or 1 tsp lemon juice
  • ▢1 tsp pickle juice
  • ▢1 pinch garlic powder
  • ▢1 pinch onion powder
  • ▢1 pinch ground paprika
  • ▢1/2 tsp Dijon optional
  • ▢1 tsp light mayonnaise
  • ▢2 tbsp light sour cream
  • ▢1 can tuna in water (about 4 oz / 120 g)
  • ▢4 small pickles cornichons, chopped
  • ▢1 tbsp chopped jalapeño adjust to your preference
  • ▢1 tbsp coriander chopped (or parsley)
  • ▢1 green onion chopped
  • ▢1 tsp dill pickles chopped
  • ▢salt to season
  • ▢black pepper to season

Instructions 

  • Mix the lime or lemon juice with the pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Add the Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and sour cream.
  • Mix until smooth and creamy. You want everything fully combined here so the dressing is evenly seasoned before adding the tuna.

If it feels a little too thick, a small splash of pickle juice can loosen it slightly.

  • Add the tuna to te mixing bowl and start covering with the dressing.

Make sure the tuna is well-drained so the salad stays creamy instead of turning watery.

  • Gently mix the tuna into the dressing until it’s evenly coated.

Try not to overmix it here; you want to keep some larger pieces so the texture stays nice and not too mashed.

  • Add the chopped pickles, jalapeño, green onion, and fresh herbs. This is where the salad gets all of its crunch, freshness, and a little extra kick.
  • Fold everything together until well combined. The tuna should look creamy, textured, and evenly mixed with all the chopped ingredients throughout.
  • Serve over a bowl of greens with sliced cucumber on the side for scooping. The cucumber adds freshness and a little crunch, and it works really well with the creamy tuna salad.

Notes

This tuna salad is simple, but a few small details make a big difference in how it turns out. Once you’ve made it a couple of times, you’ll start adjusting it without even thinking about it.

  • Tuna: Make sure it’s well drained before mixing. Too much liquid will water everything down and the dressing won’t hold the same way.
  • Creamy base: The mix of sour cream, mayo, and Dijon keeps it balanced. If you prefer it lighter, you can reduce the mayo slightly and add a bit more sour cream.
  • Acidity: Lime and pickle juice are what keep this from tasting flat. Don’t skip them, and adjust to taste if needed.
  • Heat: The jalapeño is optional, but it adds a nice kick. Start small and adjust depending on your preference.
  • Storage: Keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s best within the first couple of days while it still tastes fresh and holds its texture.

Let the tuna salad sit for a few minutes before serving so the flavors come together and taste more balanced.
