Fresh Pea, Prosciutto, and Herb Salad

By lromito

We love the green-on-green mix of crisp-tender haricots verts, peas, and protein-packed edamame. You could sub asparagus or regular green beans for the haricots verts, just remember they may need a minute longer to boil. Instead of tossing in the tomatoes (which would weigh down the delicate arugula mixture), we build the salad on top of thick tomato slices for a knife-and-fork main dish feel. Prosciutto is delightful when crisped in the microwave. Be sure to break into shards rather than finely crumbling for even better texture in the salad.

Ingredients

• 4 cups water
• 2/3 cup frozen shelled edamame
• 1/4 cup fresh or frozen shelled green peas, thawed
• 4 ounces haricots verts (French green beans), trimmed and halved diagonally
• 2 thin slices prosciutto (about 1 oz.)
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint
• 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 cup baby arugula
• 1 medium heirloom tomato, cut into 1/2-in. slices
