Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 lb snap peas, rinsed, stem ends trimmed (about 2 cups)
1 pint cherry tomatoes, rinsed and halved
salt and pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon oregano leaves, fresh roughly chopped
1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled (4 ounces)

Steps:

  • In a saucepot bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add the snap peas and boil 3-5 minutes, until peas are just cooked. Strain the snap peas in a colander in the sink and rinse under cold water until cool. Drain excess water.
  • Place the snap peas and all other ingredients except the feta cheese in a large bowl and toss gently with a large mixing spoon or spatula. Add the feta cheese and cover with plastic wrap or place in a Ziploc® Brand Container with Snap 'n Seal Lid and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Chef's Note: While storing whole tomatoes, keep them at room temperature for optimum flavor and texture until ready to use. Tomatoes tend to lose their flavor and develop a mealy texture when stored in the fridge for a long time. Cut tomatoes stored in the fridge should be used promptly.
  • *Substitute snow peas or string beans for snap peas, if desired.

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

6 scallions, thinly sliced
1 (1") piece ginger, scrubbed, cut into matchsticks
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 tsp. coriander seeds
1 tsp. cumin seeds
½ tsp. black mustard seeds
½ tsp. Kashmiri chile powder or ¼ tsp. cayenne powder
¼ tsp. ground turmeric
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
8 oz. paneer, sliced into (¼"-thick) planks, patted dry
Kosher salt
12 oz. cherry tomatoes (about 2 cups)
4 oz. sugar snap peas (about 1 cup), strings removed, halved on a diagonal if large
Pinch of sugar (optional)
½ cup (lightly packed) mint leaves
Cooked rice (for serving)

Steps:

  • Toss scallions, ginger, and garlic in a medium bowl to combine. Using a mortar and pestle or the side of a chef's knife, coarsely crush coriander seeds and add to vegetables along with cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, chile powder and turmeric; set aside.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Arrange paneer in a single layer in pan and cook until golden brown underneath, about 1 minute. (If paneer is sticking, just give cheese a little more time to brown. It will release from pan once it is sufficiently crisped.) Using a slotted spatula or spoon, transfer paneer to a plate, leaving as much oil behind in pan as possible. Turn browned side up and season generously with salt.
  • Reduce heat to medium and add remaining 1 Tbsp. oil to same skillet. Cook reserved scallion mixture, stirring often, until scallions are wilted and mustard seeds begin to pop, about 2 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, sugar snap peas, and 1 cup water to skillet and season with salt. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Gently smash each tomato open with a spatula (you just want to break them open a little) and simmer until tomato juices thicken slightly, about 3 minutes (it should still be pretty brothy and light). Taste sauce and add more salt if needed. If your tomatoes aren't super sweet, you may need to add a pinch of sugar at this point to balance their acidity. Add paneer back to pan and simmer until warmed through.
  • Remove pan from heat and toss in mint. Serve with cooked rice.

Tips:

  • Select firm and ripe cherry tomatoes: Ensure they are free of blemishes and have a deep red color.
  • Choose tender snap peas: Look for bright green, crisp snap peas that snap easily when you bend them.
  • Use fresh herbs: Basil, mint, and parsley add a burst of flavor and freshness to the dish.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables: Overcooking can make them mushy and lose their vibrant color.
  • Season to taste: Adjust the amount of salt, pepper, and lemon juice according to your preference.
  • Serve immediately: Cherry tomato and snap pea salad is best enjoyed fresh, as the vegetables tend to wilt over time.

Conclusion:

Cherry tomato and snap pea salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make, requires minimal ingredients, and is packed with nutrients. The combination of sweet cherry tomatoes, crunchy snap peas, fresh herbs, and a tangy dressing creates a delightful and healthy dish that is sure to impress your guests. Serve it alongside grilled chicken, fish, or tofu for a complete and satisfying meal.
