This easy cooked Fava Bean Salad is usually offered as a side, but it can also be served as a vegetarian main dish. Moroccans typically eat it as a dip with Moroccan bread or as a finger food. Whether or not to remove the fava bean skins is left to the preference of the diner. The preserved lemon is optional. Serves 4 as a side dish.
