SNAP PEA SALAD
Go beyond lettuce with this seasonal salad of sugar snap peas and snow peas tossed in a flavorful Parmesan vinaigrette. Minneapolis chef Gavin Kaysen created this recipe for his family, but it was such a hit, he put it on the menu at his restaurant Spoon and Stable.

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.
