Recipe by /contributors/carla-lalli-music When not using this pesto to dress this very green salad, you could schmear it on just about any sandwich, or stir it into scrambled eggs.

Ingredients

1/2 cup raw skin-on almonds 1 garlic clove, finely grated 2 cups (lightly packed) baby arugula 2 ounces Parmesan, shaved, divided 1 cup mint leaves, plus more for serving 1/3 cup olive oil Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper 12 ounces sugar snap peas 12 ounces green and/or wax beans, trimmed 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 °F. Toast almonds on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until fragrant and slightly darkened in color, 8 –10 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop half of almonds and set aside. Pulse remaining almonds with garlic, arugula, half of Parmesan, and 1 cup mint in a food processor to a smooth paste. With motor running, stream in oil; thin with 2 tablespoons cold water to reach a pourable consistency. Season pesto with salt and pepper. Cook peas and beans in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water and chill until cold. Drain peas and beans; pat dry with paper towels. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with lemon juice and 3 tablespoons pesto; season with salt and pepper. Arrange peas and beans in a large bowl or platter over remaining pesto. Top with more mint leaves, reserved almonds, and remaining Parmesan; season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
