Categories     appetizer

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped capers
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped dill
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 clove garlic, pressed
3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto
4 large eggs
2 heads butter lettuce, leaves removed
6 ounces Irish Cheddar, sliced
1 cup pickled sliced beets
1 cup pickled green beans
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, capers, lemon juice, tarragon, dill, salt, pepper and garlic in a bowl and whisk together. Set aside.
  • For the salad: Lay the prosciutto on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until the edges are starting to brown and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly; the prosciutto slices will continue to crisp as they cool.
  • Meanwhile, put the eggs in a small pot. Add water, covering the eggs by an inch or so. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat, cover with the lid and let sit 7 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water. Peel and halve each egg, then set aside.
  • To build the board, transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and place on a large board or platter. Add the butter lettuce in a pile, then arrange the eggs, crispy prosciutto, Irish Cheddar, beets, green beans, tomatoes and cucumbers on the open space of the board. Sprinkle the eggs, cucumbers and tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the vegetables, the better the salad will taste. Look for peas that are plump and brightly colored, and herbs that are fragrant and green.
  • Blanch the peas briefly: Blanching the peas helps to preserve their color and crispness. Be sure to plunge them into ice water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of peas: This recipe calls for three different types of peas: fresh peas, frozen peas, and dried peas. Using a variety of peas adds different flavors and textures to the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 2 days in advance. This gives the flavors time to meld and develop.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can make it ahead of time and chill it overnight.

Conclusion:

This Three-Pea Salad with Creamy Tarragon Dressing is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
