Make this wonderful light salad with a mixture of almost any pea or shell bean, including favas, butter beans, or field peas. Prep: 10 minutes; Cook: 15 minutes. Ingredients:
1 cup fresh or frozen edamame, shelled |
1 cup fresh or frozen green peas |
1 cup fresh or frozen lima beans |
zest and juice of 1 small lemon (about 1 teaspoon zest and 2 1/2 tablespoons juice) |
3 tablespoons white wine vinegar |
2 green onions, minced |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint, plus more for garnish |
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives |
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil |
sea salt, to taste |
freshly ground pepper, to taste |
1 ounce pecorino cheese, shaved |
Directions:
1. Cook edamame in boiling salted water about 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Remove with a wire-mesh strainer, and plunge beans into ice water to stop the cooking process; drain and set aside. Return water to a boil; add peas, and cook about 4 minutes, repeating draining process. Repeat with lima beans, cooking about 5 minutes.
2. Combine lemon zest and juice and next 4 ingredients in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil until well blended. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Place peas and beans in a medium bowl, and toss with vinaigrette. Top with pecorino, and garnish, if desired.
