Categories main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 cups plain, whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup water, divided
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
2 cups snap peas
2 cups snow peas
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds, toasted, toast in a hot skillet, 5 minutes
1/2 cup pea shoot tendrils, plus more for garnish
3 radishes

Steps:

Vinaigrette: In a blender, add mustard, vinegar, yogurt, ¼ cup water, a pinch of salt, and 8 grinds of black pepper. Turn on high, and immediately drizzle in the oil; the dressing is fully emulsified when it looks smooth, about 30 seconds. Turn blender off and add another pinch of salt, ¼ cup more water, and Parmesan. Close the lid and blend on high to incorporate the cheese, 10 seconds. The dressing should be thick and creamy, like a Caesar dressing. Makes 3 cups. (Store extra dressing in a lidded container or squeeze bottle in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.)
Salad: Trim snap peas by pulling off the tough string that runs along the length of the pod. Julienne whole pods lengthwise and add to a large bowl. Trim and julienne snow peas and add 1½ to 2 cups to the bowl. Season with a pinch of salt and 2 grinds of black pepper. Add sunflower seeds and pea shoot tendrils. Trim green tops from radishes, cut in half, then thinly slice and add to the bowl.
Assembly: With your hands, gently toss the salad with ¼ cup of dressing. Pile salad on a serving platter and garnish with additional pea shoot tendrils.
