Spring Pea and Bean Salad with Shaved Pecorino Cheese
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.
How to Make It
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.
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.
Place peas and beans in a medium bowl, and toss with vinaigrette. Top with pecorino, and garnish, if desired.
