Spring Salad With Peas Carrots And Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• Combine greens and basil on a platter. Top with arrangement of shredded carrots and peas. Combine shallots and vinegar and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk in extra-virgin olive oil to combine. Drizzle dressing evenly over the salad and season with salt and pepper. Serve with Ham Steaks.
• Heat a large skillet, with olive oil. Add the ham steaks and heat through, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

Steps:

• In a medium sized skillet melt butter over medium heat. Add onion and carrots. Stir frequently and cook until carrots are tender and onion is translucent, approximately 10 minutes. Add peas, cook another 5-6 minutes until peas are heated through.
• In medium bowl use a fork to toss pasta, vegetable mixture, italian dressing and parmesan cheese together. Serve warm or cold.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, olive oil, hazelnut oil, pepper, shallot and salt to taste in a small bowl. Adjust the seasonings. Set aside.
• Make the salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt until the water tastes slightly of salted broth. Prepare an ice bath.
• Blanch the English peas and snap peas separately, for about 10 seconds each. Shock in the ice water and drain on paper towels. Cut the snap peas into thirds.
• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Tear the Jamon Serrano slices into bite-sized pieces and add to the oil in the skillet. Cook until crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Assemble the salad: Toss the English peas, snap peas, pea shoots and snow peas with the vinaigrette to taste. Plate the salad and top with the Manchego, toasted hazelnuts and crispy jamon.
