Categories: Central, Mexico
Yield: 4 Servings

2 c (rounded) cooked unpeeled
-fava beans
2 tb Finely chopped white onion
3/4 c Finely chopped unpeeled
-tomatoes
2 Heaped tablespoons roughly
-chopped cilantro
1/4 ts Dried oregano, Mexican, if
-possible

--------------------------------THE TOPPING--------------------------------
2 tb Roughly chopped cilantro,
-approximately
1/3 c Onion rings
Chiles jalapenos en
-escabeche, left whole
-(optional)

In this salad the inner skin is left on and in this case the flavor is
better; they are a little chewy , but it is worth it.

Mix all the ingredients together, except the toping, and set aside to
marinate for an hour or so before eating. Decorate with the cilantro and
onion rings and whole chiles if desired. Serve at room temperature.
