Time 3h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 22

3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup cider vinegar
¼ cup rice vinegar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons chopped fresh Italian parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1 pound rotini (corkscrew) pasta
1 cup sliced snow peas
1 cup thinly sliced carrots
½ cup shelled English peas
1 cup broccoli florets
½ cup diced bell peppers
1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
¼ cup finely diced red onion
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Whisk Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, rice vinegar, salt, sugar, and cayenne together in a large bowl for about 30 seconds. Whisk in olive oil in 1-teaspoon increments until emulsified. Whisk in tarragon, dill, parsley, chives, and thyme. Remove and reserve 1/2 of the dressing in a separate small bowl.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Add snow peas, carrots, peas, and broccoli about 2 minutes before the pasta is done. Drain pasta and veggies well, but do not rinse.
  • Transfer hot pasta mixture to the vinaigrette in the large mixing bowl and toss well to combine. Let rest for 5 minutes and toss again. Toss occasionally until the mixture is almost room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Add bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, green onions, salt, and the reserved dressing and toss well.
  • Wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 hours before serving. Toss and adjust seasoning before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: Snow peas and broccoli are at their best when they are fresh and crisp. Look for snow peas that are bright green and have a slight snap to them. Broccoli should be deep green and have tightly closed florets.
  • Blanch the vegetables: Blanching the vegetables helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the vegetables, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the snow peas and broccoli and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender-crisp. Immediately remove the vegetables from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
  • Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled. You can either refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving, or you can serve it immediately over a bed of ice.

Conclusion:

This snow pea and broccoli salad is a healthy, refreshing, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
