Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb green peas frozen or fresh
  • 3 oz prosciutto thinly sliced
  • 2 cups arugula 2 oz, baby
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium shallot 1 whole bulb, peeled and sliced thin
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 oz
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 8 leaves basil 25 oz, chopped, fresh

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients: Add arugula to a medium to large sized bowl and set aside. Chop and measure out the rest of the ingredients and have ready bc this recipe comes together fast.
  2. Saute: Add olive oil to a medium-sized saute pan and heat over medium. Add shallots and garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes. Add peas, dijon, salt, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of lemon juice. Mix well and saute for another 3-4 minutes. Add sauteed peas to the bowl with arugula and mix to coat the arugula with the oil and dijon from the peas. Set aside.
  3. Fry Prosciutto (optional): Add the prosciutto to the same pan and heat to medium. Fry for 1 minute and then use tongs to flip the prosciutto to the other side. Deglaze the pan with the remaining 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and fry for another minute. Remove prosciutto from the pan. Add to a cutting board and give it a rough chop.
  4. Assemble Salad: Add the chopped prosciutto, basil, and lemon zest to the bowl with the peas and arugula and mix well.
  5. Serve: Serve either warm or cold and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage
  • Storage
  • Store in the fridge for up to 3 days, although the arugula will begin to get soggy on day 2.
  • Substitutions
  • Substitutions
  • Shallots: Sweet onions will also work, about 1/4 cup. 
  • Arugula: Baby is our preferred but salad arugula will also work.
  • Peas: Frozen or fresh shelled, skip the canned peas for this one.
  • Prosciutto: Thinly sliced pancetta will also work.
  • Dijon: A stone ground mustard will also work.
  • Frying the Proscuitto
  • Frying the Proscuitto
  • If you choose to fry the prosciutto, leave some of the dijon in the pan for it to fry with. Fry for just 45 -60 seconds on each side and deglaze the pan with lemon juice before flipping, turn the heat down if the pan begins to burn.
