1/4 pound haricots verts, ends trimmed (green beans are fine if you can't find haricots verts)
1/4 pound snap peas, halved
1/4 pound snow peas, halved
1/4 pound fresh peas, shelled
1/4 pound fava beans, shelled and peeled
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced on the diagonal
Juice of 1 meyer lemon
Extra virgin olive oil
Maldon or other flaky salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 handful yellow pea shoots, optional
1 handful green pea shoots, optional
1 handful fresh mint leaves, roughly torn, optional
1/4 pound good-quality goat cheese, optional

1
Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil over medium-high heat and prepare a large bowl of ice water.
2
Throw the haricots verts (which take the longest to cook) into the pot of boiling water.
3
After 30 seconds, add the snap peas and snow peas.
4
Add the fresh peas and fava beans after another 30 these will cook fastest.
5
(Adding the beans in intervals of 30 seconds will save you the time of boiling multiple pots of water and cooking each vegetable individually.)
6
When the beans turn bright green and tender but are still very crisp, transfer the peas and beans to the ice water to stop the cooking.
7
When they are cold, drain and transfer to a large glass bowl; add the celery.
8
Just when you're ready to serve the salad, add the lemon juice, some olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste and give the salad a good toss with your hands.
9
Mix in the pea shoots and mint, if using.
10
If using the goat cheese, gently crumble it in with your hands.
11
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve.
