From the Test Kitchen

We love fresh peas in summer. Let’s use them while the sun shines. This week, we’re in a unique, seasonal moment. Not only are pea shoots (the young, flavorful sprouts of the plant) still abundant, but the pods of snap and English peas are ripe, too. We’ve included all three in this seasonal salad and complemented their fresh flavors with bright lemon and silky goat cheese.

Crumble the goat cheese into large pieces. Trim off and discard the bottom inch of the pea shoot stems. Cut the radishes into thin rounds. Pick the mint leaves off the stems; discard the stems and finely chop the leaves. Using a peeler, remove the yellow rind of the lemon, avoiding the white pith; mince the rind to get 2 teaspoons of zest. Quarter the lemon and remove the seeds. Shell the English peas.
