How to Make Arugula And Pea Salad

  1. Cook 1 cup of frozen peas in a small saucepan with a splash of salted boiling water for 3 minutes. Cover the saucepan.
  2. Drain the peas and let them cool completely.
  3. In a large platter, arrange 5 oz of arugula and 2 cups of baby swiss chard in alternating rows.
  4. Evenly distribute the cooked peas and 2 chopped green onions over the greens.
  5. In a screw-top jar, whisk together 1/4 cup strawberry vinegar (see instructions below) and 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  6. Shake well to emulsify the dressing.
  7. Drizzle the dressing over the salad just before serving.
  8. To make the strawberry vinegar:
  9. Combine 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries and 1 cup cider vinegar in a medium saucepan.
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 3 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl.
  12. Discard the solids and transfer the strained vinegar to a jar or bottle.
  13. Cover tightly with a non-metallic lid and chill for at least 1 hour before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
