SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD
Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water. When the water is boiling, drop the sugar snaps into the pot and cook for 1 minute. Drain the sugar snap peas and plunge them into the ice water.
- While you are waiting for the water to boil, make the vinaigrette: In a large bowl combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, rice vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, shallot, salt and pepper.
- Drain the cooled sugar snap peas, shake off any excess water, and add them with the onion, cucumbers, dill and mint to the dressing in the bowl. Toss to combine. Taste, adjust seasonings as needed and serve.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD
Steps:
- Combine vegetables and fruit: In a large bowl, add the sugar snap peas, cucumber, bell pepper, mandarin oranges, and red onion. Set it aside, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate it if not serving immediately.
- 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.
- Assemble and serve: Drizzle about three quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss with a large spoon to combine. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Serve the remaining dressing on the side. This salad tastes even better after the vegetables get a chance to soak up the dressing a bit, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, in the fridge.

SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD
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
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.

Steps:
- So long as you find the right snap peas, you'll have a smashing salad. But I find that putting your knife to them adds even more excitement, a little textural variation and attractiveness. Accordingly, run the tip of your knife along the spine of some of the larger pods, open them like a book to expose the peas, and gently pull to separate the two sides of the pod. Slice others diagonally in half or thirds. Keep small ones whole.
- Combine the peas and mint in a large bowl. Pour in the dressing and toss gently but well. Season to taste with more salt and lemon, if you'd like. Add the arugula to the bowl and toss gently to coat the leaves in the dressing without bruising them. Arrange it all prettily on a platter and serve straightaway.
