If you see great-looking snow peas, use them in combination with or in place of the sugar snaps. This recipe was reader-requested from Coltivare in Houston, TX.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 servings

Ingredients

1

tablespoon fresh lemon juice

½

teaspoon Dijon mustard, like Maille

3

tablespoons olive oil

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

cups shelled fresh green peas (from about 1¼ 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)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Whisk lemon juice and mustard in a large bowl. Gradually add oil, whisking constantly until emulsified; season vinaigrette with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    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.

    Step 3

    Add green peas, sugar snap peas, and arugula to bowl with vinaigrette and toss until well coated with dressing; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    Arrange salad on a platter and top with prosciutto. Finely grate horseradish over salad to your liking.

  • Great salad. I make it a couple of times a month. The only thing I do differently is to add grated parm. Makes a huge difference in the taste.
