For the salad
14 ounces (4 cups) sugar snap peas
1/2 large English cucumber, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
1 small red bell pepper, stemmed and cut into 1/8-inch slices
3/4 cups canned mandarin orange segments, drained

3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon honey

1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons peanut oil, vegetable oil, or avocado oil

  • Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the sesame oil and peanut oil, whisking constantly until fully combined.
