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.

Tips:

  • Choose the ripest strawberries possible. This will ensure that they are sweet and flavorful.
  • Use fresh snap peas. Frozen snap peas can be used in a pinch, but they will not be as crisp and flavorful as fresh peas.
  • Blanch the snap peas before adding them to the salad. This will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will overpower the delicate flavors of the strawberries and snap peas.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This will prevent the strawberries and snap peas from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Strawberry snap pea salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for a summer meal. The sweetness of the strawberries pairs perfectly with the crispness of the snap peas, and the light dressing adds a touch of tanginess. This salad is also very easy to make, making it a great option for a busy weeknight meal.
