 1 tbsp honey
 1 tbsp roughly chopped fresh mint
 1 tsp roughly chopped fresh thyme
  cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 salt
Salad:
 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
 1 ¼ lbs baby potatoes
  cup Colavita Extra Virgin Olive Oil
 10 oz mixed spring greens
 8 large radishes, trimmed, very thinly sliced
 1 lb uncooked, large shrimp, peeled and deveined
 16 oz cannellini beans, drained
 1 jar Colavita Artichoke Hearts, rinsed and quartered
 Sea salt
 Freshly ground pepper
Garnish:
 Shaved parmigiano-reggiano cheese
Make the vinaigrette:
1

Place all the vinaigrette ingredients in a blender and puree. Taste and adjust seasoning. You may want to add more honey, mint or salt.

Make the salad:
2

Heat 2 tablespoons Colavita Olive Oil in heavy large nonstick skillet over high heat until hot. Add the shrimp and sauté until cooked through, about 3 minutes. Using tongs, transfer shrimp to plate and season with salt and pepper.

3

Cook peas in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer peas to an ice bath to cool. Drain them and pat dry. Once the peas have drained, place them in a small bowl and toss with 2 tablespoons of the vinaigrette.

4

Place potatoes in large saucepan. Add cold water to cover potatoes by 1 inch, along with ¼ tsp salt. Bring to boil and cook until potatoes are tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for 5 minutes. Once the potatoes are cooled, quarter them with a sharp knife.

5

Place the potatoes in a large bowl. Add the White Beans and ¼ cup vinaigrette; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add 1 more tablespoon of the vinaigrette if the mixture seems dry.

6

Place greens and radishes in a large salad bowl. Toss with enough vinaigrette to coat. Arrange potatoes, peas, beans and artichoke hearts on top of the greens. Place the shrimp on top.

7

Garnish with shavings of Parmegiano-Reggiano cheese. Serve immediately.
