Categories     Bon Appétit     Salad     Spring     Pea     Prosciutto     Ham     Arugula     Horseradish     Dinner     Side     Wheat/Gluten-Free

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups shelled fresh green peas (from about 1 1/4 pounds pods), or frozen peas, thawed
12 ounces sugar snap peas (about 3 cups), trimmed
4 ounces arugula, tough stems removed (about 6 packed cups)
4 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced
Knob of fresh horseradish, peeled (for serving)

Steps:

  • Whisk lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until emulsified; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches, cook green peas and sugar snap peas in a large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes per batch. Immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water and swoosh peas around until cold; this sets their color and halts the cooking. Drain and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Add green peas, sugar snap peas, and arugula to bowl with vinaigrette and toss until well coated with dressing; season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange salad on a platter and top with prosciutto. Finely grate horseradish over salad to your liking.
