The past few weeks we’ve received an enormous amount of sugar snap peas in our weekly CSA share, along with a beautiful bunch of red and purple radishes that I had no idea what to do with. Enter the snap pea & radish salad, an unexpected, wonderful, fresh, summery dish that received rave reviews at our summer conservatory late night casting session and the beach picnic I brought it to.
Ingredients:
- Sugar snap peas
- Radishes, sliced
- Fresh mint leaves, chopped
- Fresh mozzarella cheese ball, crumbled
- Vinaigrette dressing: lemon juice, olive oil, rice or white wine vinegar, salt, pepper
Directions:
Mix peas, radishes, mint and mozzarella in one dish. In another, mix together the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Keep both refrigerated separately until serving time. Combine, serve, enjoy, gracefully accept compliments on the awesome dish, and refrigerate any leftovers. On the off chance you do have leftovers, once the vinaigrette has been mixed into the salad, it’s best to use it all that day.
So healthy, so flavorful, so good! I think the secret is in the mint. It seems like an oddball combination, but it was so delicious and a definite hit among the masses. If you’re looking for something insanely easy and healthy to bring to a summer potluck that nobody else will likely bring too, this may be your ticket! Share the wealth :)
