Time 20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 pound sugar snap peas
1 ½ cups arugula-baby spinach combo
⅔ cup fresh blueberries
¼ cup vegetable oil
¼ cup fresh blueberries
2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon slivered almonds

Steps:

  • Cut ends off snap peas and pull off the tough strings running up the sides.
  • Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add snap peas, cover, and steam for 1 minute or until you reach desired tenderness. Don't overcook because you still want a little crunch.
  • Transfer peas to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to stop the cooking and retain the bright green color; drain well. Transfer peas to a large bowl and add arugula-spinach combo and 2/3 cup blueberries.
  • Combine oil, blueberries, vinegar, and honey for dressing in a food processor or blender; process until smooth.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad mixture and toss until well coated. Sprinkle almonds over the top and serve.
