Black-Eyed Pea, Fennel And Zucchini Salad - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    10 ounces frozen black-eyed peas (not thawed)
    1 lb zucchini, trimmed
    1 medium fennel bulb, stalks discarded (sometimes labeled \"anise\")
    1/2 cup finely chopped scallion (about 4)
    2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
    3 tablespoons cider vinegar
    2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon coarse grain mustard
    1/2 teaspoon black pepper
    1/2 teaspoon cayenne
    2 tablespoons salt
    1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
    2 3/4 cups fresh corn (from about 4 ears)
    1 lb shelled frozen edamame (not thawed)
Preparation
    Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in a 5- to 6-quart pot, then cook black-eyed peas, partially covered, until tender, about 20 minutes.
    While peas are cooking, cut zucchini and fennel into 1/4-inch dice. Whisk together scallions, dill, vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, cayenne, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until emulsified.
    Add zucchini and fennel to dressing.
    When peas are tender, transfer with a slotted spoon to a sieve set over a large bowl, reserving cooking water in pot, and cool peas slightly, then add to salad.
    Return water to a boil and add remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons salt, then cook corn and edamame, uncovered, until tender, 6 to 7 minutes.
    Transfer to sieve to cool slightly, then add to salad and stir to combine. Cool salad completely and serve chilled or at room temperature.
