Snap Pea Salad with Whipped Ricotta

A gorgeous tangle of crunchy peas, leafy pea tendrils, and fresh herbs cascades over a creamy mixture of ricotta cheese and lemon zest. It’s such a memorable salad that it will hold its own as the centerpiece of a meal. Serve alongside seared salmon fillets or sea scallops, grilled shrimp or chicken, or a slice of white pizza. Look for pea tendrils or shoots at your farmers market or Asian markets; if you can't find them, substitute watercress or arugula.
