• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 shallot, minced

Instructions:

1. Simmer the fava beans in a pot of salted water for 2 to 3 minutes until they are cooked but still firm. Drain them using a colander and then put them into a bowl of ice water to cool them down and stop the cooking process. Drain the beans again and put them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan. Saute the shallots over medium heat for about 1 minute until they become translucent. Add the corn to the pan and cook for approximately 3 minutes until it is cooked through. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool down to room temperature.
3. Combine the corn, radishes, chives, basil, lemon juice, and the remaining olive oil with the fava beans in the bowl. Mix everything well until all ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
4. Distribute the salad equally among four bowls and serve. You can enjoy the salad either at room temperature or cold, as preferred.
