Fava beans, also known as broad beans. They're rich in an antioxidant called apigenin, which is said to help improve insulin resistance and ease blood sugar spikes. Plenty of fiber and high protein come as a bonus.
The dressing is missing sumac (didn't have any) — adding it would make it tangier.
With this week's fasting olive oil intake in mind, about 445kcal fava bean salad
