SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD



Sugar Snap Pea Salad image

In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it's ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can't find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can't get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don't combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.

1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed

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.
