Ensalada De Habas (fava Bean Salad)

We are hardwired to trust in ourselves. That’s not good for us or the God-glorifying purpose for which God created us. Therefore, suffering is used to break us of self whereby we might trust more deeply in God. So God’s intent in suffering is not to pull us away from Him as many people seem to believe, but rather draw us closer to Him. And the more He strips us during affliction of our human resources and excuses and justifications and easy way outs, the more we will run to Him and cling to Him as the only thing we’ve got.

INSTRUCTIONS

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.  Posted
