INGREDIENTS:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen lady peas, baby Lima beans, or black eyed peas
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped shallot
  • 1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest plus 1/4 cup fresh juice (from 2 lemons)
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Cook the peas or beans
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high. Add peas; reduce heat to medium, and simmer until peas are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Make dressing: Meanwhile, stir together basil, parsley, mint, shallot, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, mustard, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
  4. Finish salad: Drain peas and let cool, about 15 minutes. Transfer peas to bowl with dressing, and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
