SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD



Sugar Snap Pea Salad image

In this unusual summer salad, funky, creamy Camembert and crisp, juicy sugar snap peas unite make a texturally complex and very flavorful dish. You can use any washed rind cheese here as long as it's ripe enough to be spread on a plate. If you can't find a gooey-centered cheese, you can substitute a creamy goat cheese instead. Pea shoots make an ideal garnish, echoing the flavor of the sugar snaps, but if you can't get them, use any baby green or micro green in its place. If you want to work ahead, you can blanch the peas and mix up the dressing several hours ahead. But don't combine the salad ingredients until just before serving. In this dish, freshness is key.

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.

Provided by Melissa Clark

Categories     easy, quick, salads and dressings, side dish

Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup sliced radishes
4 ounces sugar snap peas, sliced (about 1 1/4 cups)
4 ounces ricotta salata, crumbled (about 1 cup)
1/2 bunch mint leaves, torn (about 1/3 cup)
1 clove garlic, minced
Pinch kosher salt, more to taste
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, toss together the radishes, peas, ricotta and mint.
  • Using a knife or a mortar and pestle, make a paste of the garlic and salt. Place in a small bowl and add the lemon juice and balsamic vinegar and stir well to combine. Drizzle in the olive oil, stirring constantly, and add pepper to taste.
  • Pour dressing over salad and toss well to combine. Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, crisp sugar snap peas and blueberries. Look for sugar snap peas that are a vibrant green color and have no blemishes. Blueberries should be plump and blue-black in color.
  • If you can't find fresh sugar snap peas, you can use frozen ones. Be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • To make the dressing, you can use either white wine vinegar or champagne vinegar. White wine vinegar has a sharper flavor, while champagne vinegar is more delicate.
  • If you don't have any shallots, you can use a small onion instead. Just mince it finely.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the step of blanching the sugar snap peas. However, blanching helps to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • You can also add other ingredients to this salad, such as crumbled feta cheese, roasted nuts, or grilled chicken.

Conclusion:

This sugar snap pea and blueberry salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own tastes. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious salad, give this one a try!
