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.

Tips:

Choose fresh, crisp vegetables: The quality of your vegetables will greatly impact the taste of your salad. Look for brightly colored, firm radishes and peas. Avoid any vegetables that are wilted or bruised.
Slice your radishes and peas thinly: This will help them to absorb the dressing more easily and make them easier to eat.
Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. You can make the dressing up to 2 days in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
Toss the salad just before serving: This will prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.
Serve the salad immediately: Spring pea and radish salad is best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Spring pea and radish salad is a refreshing, healthy, and delicious salad that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to enjoy the fresh flavors of spring. With its vibrant colors and crisp textures, this salad is sure to please everyone at your table.
