Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the haricots verts and cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and immediately plunge them into ice water to stop cooking. Drain again and set aside.
Prepare the Coppa
While the beans cool, slice the coppa into thin strips and set aside.
Dressing
Make the Lemon Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Assembly
