Ingredients 

  • 1 pound sugar snap peas
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped mint
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Blanch the sugar snaps in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain and plunge into an ice bath. Pat the sugar snaps dry. 

In a medium bowl, whisk the olive oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and mint. Add the sugar snaps and prosciutto, season with salt and pepper and toss. Arrange the salad on a platter and serve. 

Notes

To make ahead: blanch sugar snaps, make dressing and refrigerate separately. Before serving, bring both to room temperature, add prosciutto and toss peas with dressing.
