Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

For dressing
1 1/2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon leaves
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives (wash and dry before chopping)
2 pounds fresh fava beans, shelled (about 1 cup)
1 pound thin asparagus, trimmed and cut diagonally into 2-inch pieces
1 pound medium shrimp (about 30), shelled and deveined
3 cups mâche* (lamb's-lettuce), rinsed and dried
1 1/2 cups frisée* (French curly endive), rinsed and dried
Garnish: 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
*available at specialty produce markets and some supermarkets

Steps:

  • Make dressing:
  • In a small bowl whisk together honey, mustard, lime juice, and tarragon. Add oil in a stream, whisking until emulsified, and season with salt and pepper. Dressing may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled, covered. Bring dressing to room temperature before proceeding. Stir in chives.
  • Have ready a large bowl of ice and cold water. In a large saucepan of boiling salted water cook favas until crisp-tender, about 2 1/2 minutes, and transfer with a slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain favas in a colander and gently peel away outer skins. Transfer favas to a large serving bowl.
  • Have ready another large bowl of ice and cold water. Return water in pan to a boil and cook asparagus until crisp-tender, about 3 1/2 minutes. Transfer asparagus with slotted spoon to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus in colander and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Return water in pan to a boil and cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 2 minutes. Transfer shrimp with slotted spoon to paper towels to cool.
  • In bowl with favas, toss together 1/3 cup dressing, asparagus, shrimp, mâche, frisée, and salt and pepper to taste. Drizzle salad with some of remaining dressing and garnish with chives.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more herbs or spices to the dressing next time.

I'm not a big fan of seafood, but this salad was surprisingly good. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the dressing was very flavorful. I would definitely make this again, but I might use chicken or tofu instead of shrimp.

This salad was easy to make and very delicious. I used frozen shrimp and asparagus, and it still turned out great. I will definitely be making this again.

This salad was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less salt in the dressing next time.
