feta cheese

🥗Healthier: cottage cheese

💰Cheaper: ricotta cheese

Cottage cheese is lower in fat and calories while ricotta is often less expensive.

In a large pot, pour water and add salt, then bring to a boiling point on high heat.

Blanche the fava beans, green beans, and peas in the boiling water for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the vegetables from the boiling water with a strainer and shock them in an ice bath (a large bowl of water with ice cubes) to stop the cooking.

Thinly dice the shallots and chop the mint leaves.

Squeeze the lemon to get lemon juice and add it to the bowl.

Add the vinegar and olive oil to the bowl, and mix all the ingredients until well incorporated.

Add a few leaves of purslane (optional) and mix all the ingredients again.

Serve in a nice plate.
