Mix the dressing with the peas and fava beans. Wash/dry the arrugula. Prepare a lemon vinagrette and minimally dress and toss it with the greens. Plate the arrugula and top with the pea/bean salad. . Tear a little mint over the top with a little shaved Parmesan if you like.

This salad is so easy to make! I just blanched the beans and peas, then tossed them with the dressing and cheese. It couldn't be simpler.
