Steps:
- In a saucepot bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the snap peas and boil 3-5 minutes, until peas are just cooked. Strain the snap peas in a colander in the sink and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain excess water.
- Place the snap peas and all other ingredients except the feta cheese in a large bowl and toss gently with a large mixing spoon or spatula. Add the feta cheese and cover with plastic wrap or place in a Ziploc® Brand Container with Snap 'n Seal Lid and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Chef's Note: While storing whole tomatoes, keep them at room temperature for optimum flavor and texture until ready to use. Tomatoes tend to lose their flavor and develop a mealy texture when stored in the fridge for a long time. Cut tomatoes stored in the fridge should be used promptly.
- *Substitute snow peas or string beans for snap peas, if desired.

TOMATO SALAD WITH CHICKPEAS AND FETA
Peak summer eating doesn't get much easier than this fresh tomato salad. Ripe, in-season tomatoes are best, but if they are not in their prime, the simple technique of salting them first will draw out maximum flavor. Roasted nuts and seeds are excellent pantry items and make a perfect no-cook, savory-sweet crisp topping. The nut-seed-spice mixture is completely flexible; use what you have on hand, and add aromatic seeds like nigella or fennel if you like. The store-bought granola is optional, but it adds a surprising sweetness and even more crunch. (Opt for one that is as plain as possible and without dried fruits or chocolate.) Make extra topping and keep it in an airtight jar for sprinkling over salads and roasted vegetables.

Steps:
- Place tomatoes into a large bowl and add the garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Using your hands or a large spoon, gently toss the tomatoes so that everything is evenly coated. Let the tomatoes sit for about 10 minutes. (The salt will draw out flavor from the tomatoes.)
- Meanwhile make the topping: Combine the sunflower seeds, pepitas, almonds, pistachios, granola if using, sesame seeds, chile powder and salt. Toss to combine. Season with a few turns of black pepper and stir everything together.
- Add the chickpeas, feta, olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper to the tomatoes and toss to combine. Taste and adjust olive oil, salt and pepper to your liking. Tear up basil leaves and sprinkle on top.
- To serve, transfer tomatoes to a serving platter or individual bowls. When you are ready to eat, sprinkle with the crisp topping.
SHEET-PAN FETA WITH CHICKPEAS AND TOMATOES
In a spread of Greek appetizers, or meze, there's often a warm feta dish like bouyiourdi (baked feta with tomato and hot peppers) or a saganaki (fried cheese). This recipe combines elements of these two classic appetizers into a sheet-pan meal. Softened feta provides a salty, creamy counterpoint to sweet, juicy tomatoes and chickpeas that are sticky from honey and spicy from dried chile. Try this version, then riff wildly: Switch out tomatoes for mini peppers, olives, dates or cauliflower. Swap the hot honey for anchovies, harissa, smoked paprika or turmeric. Eat with pita, grains, salad greens, hummus or yogurt.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees. On a baking sheet, stir together the chickpeas, tomatoes, shallot, olive oil, honey and chile flakes. Season with salt, then spread in an even layer. Arrange the feta among the chickpeas. Roast until the feta and tomatoes are soft and the chickpeas are golden brown, 30 to 35 minutes (no need to stir). Eat right away. (The feta will harden as it cools; reheat leftovers.)
Tips:
- Choose the freshest ingredients possible. This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your salad.
- Use a variety of colors and textures. This will make your salad more visually appealing and interesting to eat.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. There are many different ways to make a snap pea salad, so feel free to add your favorite ingredients and dressings.
- Make sure to wash the snap peas thoroughly before using them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
- If you are using cherry tomatoes, halve them before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent them from rolling around.
- Feta cheese is a great addition to snap pea salad, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as goat cheese or Parmesan cheese.
- A simple vinaigrette dressing is a great way to dress snap pea salad. However, you can also use other types of dressings, such as a creamy dressing or a citrus dressing.
- Serve snap pea salad immediately after making it. This will help to ensure that the snap peas stay crisp and fresh.
Conclusion:
Snap pea salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish or light lunch. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, snap pea salad is a surefire crowd-pleaser.
