SUGAR-SNAP PEA AND STRAWBERRY SALAD



Sugar-Snap Pea and Strawberry Salad image

An easy way to use up strawberries (2 of those little green baskety thingies). Light and summery too. From the Diane Mott Davidson series about a caterer who solves murder mysteries. This one is from "The Main Corpse." I read them for the recipes! If you don't have sugar snap peas, snow peas or green beans work too.

Doing the eat-for-your-blood-type diet. This salad is a yummy treat I can eat!! Took fresh local strawberries and some friends' home-grown sugar snap peas and tried to recreate this salad I had read in a mystery book years ago. Goes well with a nice steak from the grill. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right strawberries: Use ripe, sweet strawberries for the best flavor. Look for berries that are red and plump, with no bruises or blemishes.
  • Prepare the snap peas properly: Trim the ends of the snap peas and remove the strings. You can also blanch them for a few minutes to help them retain their color and crispness.
  • Use a light dressing: A light vinaigrette or citrus dressing is best for this salad. Avoid using heavy dressings, which can weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing.
  • Add some protein: If you want to make the salad more filling, you can add some protein, such as grilled chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The strawberries and snap peas will start to lose their freshness and flavor if they are left to sit for too long.

Conclusion:

This strawberry and snap pea salad is a refreshing and delicious way to enjoy these two springtime vegetables. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and healthy salad, give this recipe a try!
