SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH RADISHES, MINT AND RICOTTA SALATA



Sugar Snap Pea Salad With Radishes, Mint and Ricotta Salata image

There's a reason pea salad is usually slathered in mayonnaise. Just try to get those tiny rolling orbs to stay on your fork without it. That's why when it comes to pea salads, choose sugar snaps. They have the same bright sweetness as shelled peas but, eaten pod and all (no shucking required), they're easier to grab. Here, raw sugar snap peas are tossed with radishes, fresh mint, ricotta salata and a simple lemon-balsamic vinaigrette for a easy salad that's sweet, salty, creamy and fresh tasting.

1 clove garlic, minced

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Tips:

  • Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible for the best flavor. Fresh mint and peas are essential for this salad.
  • Blanch the Peas: Blanching the peas helps to preserve their color and crispness. Be sure to shock them in ice water immediately after blanching to stop the cooking process.
  • Chop the Mint Finely: Finely chopped mint will distribute its flavor evenly throughout the salad.
  • Use a Light Dressing: A light dressing will allow the flavors of the salad to shine through. A simple vinaigrette or lemon-tahini dressing is a good option.
  • Serve Immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The mint will wilt if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish or light lunch. The combination of mint, peas, and feta cheese is delicious and unique. With its vibrant green color and zesty flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
