Categories     project, salads and dressings

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Sea salt
1/2 cup peas
6 spears asparagus, trimmed
1 tablespoon thinly sliced garlic chives, or chives and 1/2 small garlic clove, crushed
2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 cup roughly chopped baby arugula
2 cups 1/4-inch slices lollo rosso or red leaf lettuce
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
1 1/2-inch piece daikon radish, sliced into paper thin rounds with a vegetable peeler (cut rounds in half if larger than 1 inch in diameter)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add peas, and cook until tender but still slightly firm, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove peas to a strainer and cool under cold running water. Let dry. Bring water back to a boil. Add asparagus, and cook until tender but still slightly crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain, and cool under cold running water. Dry on a dish towel, then slice into 3/4-inch pieces (there should be about 1 cup). Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together garlic chives, vinegar, mustard, large pinch salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning; it should be highly seasoned.
  • In a large serving bowl, combine arugula, lollo rosso, peas, asparagus, tarragon and daikon radish. Pour about half the dressing on top, and toss to coat vegetables, adding more dressing if necessary. Let sit for 15 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasoning once more before serving.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 medium leek, white and light-green parts only, cut crosswise into 1/3" rounds
5 tablespoons (or more) olive oil, divided
1 pound sweet Italian sausage (about 4 links), cut into 1/4" coins
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups leftover chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
2 medium carrots (about 5 1/2 ounces), peeled, cut into 1/4" coins
4 small new potatoes (about 5 ounces), cut into 1/2" cubes
6 ounces frozen peas, thawed
1 tablespoon chopped dill
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, such as Dufour or Pepperidge Farm, thawed
1 large egg (optional)
5 cups baby spinach (about 4 ounces)
4 cups baby arugula (about 3 ounces)
3 radishes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup cilantro, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup parsley, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. If you see or feel dirt in leeks, rinse well, separating layers, then pat dry; otherwise, leave rounds intact.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a 10" cast-iron or other deep, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook sausage, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage and garlic to a plate, reserving about 2 Tbsp. oil in pan.
  • Return pan to low heat and add flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to smell toasty and is the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in stock 1/4-cupful at a time. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add carrots, potatoes, and leek and simmer until carrots and potatoes are just softened and liquid is reduced by half, 10-12 minutes. Add reserved sausage and garlic, peas, dill, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine.
  • Remove from heat. Place pastry over skillet, tucking corners gently into sides; it won't completely cover pan. Whisk egg with 1 Tbsp. water (if not using, substitute 1 Tbsp. oil) in a small bowl and brush top of pastry. Cut four 1" slits in pastry to vent.
  • Bake pot pie until pastry is beginning to brown and underside is cooked, 23-25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
  • Meanwhile, whisk remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, arugula, radishes, cilantro, parsley, and almonds and toss to combine.
  • Divide pot pie among plates and serve salad alongside.

Tips:

  • Fresh ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh arugula and peas. If you can, pick your own peas from a local garden or farmers market.
  • Blanch the peas: Blanching the peas helps to preserve their color and flavor. Simply drop them into boiling water for a few minutes, then drain and rinse them in cold water.
  • Use a light dressing: A light dressing, such as a vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing, will allow the flavors of the arugula and peas to shine through.
  • Add some crunch: To add some crunch to the salad, you can add chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
  • Serve immediately: Arugula and pea salad is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to make it ahead of time, store the dressing and the salad separately and combine them just before serving.

Conclusion:

Arugula and pea salad is a delicious and refreshing salad that is perfect for spring and summer. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
