Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
3 tablespoons finely chopped shallots
3 tablespoons rice-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
6 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

Steps:

Bring a small saucepan of salted water to a boil; prepare an ice bath. Add the peas to the boiling water, and cook until bright green and crunchy, about 1 minute.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to ice bath until cold. Drain peas in a colander, and transfer to a serving dish.
Combine the shallots, vinegar, honey, mustard, olive oil, and mint in a jar with a lid. Season with salt and pepper. Cover, and shake vigorously until well combined. Let dressing stand 10 minutes. Pour dressing over the peas. Toss, and serve.
