Fava Bean, Asparagus and Arugula Salad image

I make this with cooked, shelled edamame (soybeans) that I get at the super Wal-Mart. It's already cooked and just has to be added to the asparagus, not blanched first. I also don't divide the salad. I just put it on a platter as listed in the directions.

I love the addition of arugula to this salad. It adds a nice peppery bite that balances out the sweetness of the fava beans and asparagus.
