KALE AND SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD
Here's a recipe Mark Bittman picked up on a road trip with his daughter across the United States, from the Black Market restaurant in Indianapolis. Kale and sugar snap peas combine with a dressing of ginger, miso and rice vinegar, with dried apricots and feta cheese, almonds and mint - a riot of flavors, and an excellent meal.

Steps:
- Make the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the oil, ginger, miso, 1/2 cup vinegar, lemon or lime zest and juice, and sugar. Process for about 30 seconds to form a creamy emulsion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add vinegar if needed.

BALSAMIC PEA SALAD
I quickly make this the night before I need it as it tastes much better if it sits overnight. My daughter and her friend will not eat peas, but they love this salad.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh peas. If fresh peas are not available, frozen peas can be used instead.
- Blanch the peas in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer them to ice water to stop the cooking process. This will help to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your salad, such as celery, carrots, and red onion. This will add color and flavor to the dish.
- Add some chopped nuts, such as almonds or walnuts, for a crunchy texture.
- Use a light vinaigrette dressing to dress the salad. This will help to keep the salad light and refreshing.
- Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for later.
