PEA AND BEAN SALAD WITH SHAVED PECORINO CHEESE

Pea and Bean Salad With Shaved Pecorino Cheese image

We both loved this. Very light, fresh tasting, good-for-you salad and the flavor improves the next day. I love edamame beans (aka soybeans), they are widely available frozen if not fresh. This makes a great side dish for dinner, and eat the leftovers at work for lunch. Add a bit more cheese if you can afford the calories. This is a Sara Foster recipe, from the April issue of Cottage Living.
