Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 shallot diced
  • 4 slices prosciutto diced
  • 1 16-ounce bag frozen peas thawed
  • 1 8-ounce can water chestnuts drained and chopped
  • 1/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a small sauté pan over medium. Add shallots and sauté until they begin to become fragrant. Add prosciutto. Stir over medium heat until prosciutto begins to crisp. Remove shallots and prosciutto to a small plate covered with a paper towel to drain and cool.
  • In a medium bowl, combine prosciutto and shallots, peas, water chestnuts, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic powder and salt. Stir to combine. For best results, let sit in refrigerator for an hour or so to give all of the flavors a chance to meld.

Notes

  1. If you'd like to use fresh peas, just make sure you cook them before starting this recipe.
  2. This dish can be made up to a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
  3. To make the recipe vegetarian, omit the prosciutto. If you'd like, add some chopped toasted, salted cashews for some extra flavor and crunch.
