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.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD



Sugar Snap Pea Salad image

In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it's ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can't find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can't get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don't combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.

SUGAR-SNAP PEA AND STRAWBERRY SALAD



Sugar-Snap Pea and Strawberry Salad image

An easy way to use up strawberries (2 of those little green baskety thingies). Light and summery too. From the Diane Mott Davidson series about a caterer who solves murder mysteries. This one is from "The Main Corpse." I read them for the recipes! If you don't have sugar snap peas, snow peas or green beans work too.
