CINNAMON SUGAR SNAP PEAS
I was trying to get a little creative in the kitchen the other night and stumbled across this combination that ended up tasting really great! Although my 2 year-old is still on the fence (as she is with most green veggies), my husband and I loved them. A very easy and inexpensive way to dress up your sugar snaps! Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Cut ends off snap peas and pull off the tough strings running up the sides.
- Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add snap peas, cover, and steam for 1 minute or until you reach desired tenderness. Don't overcook because you still want a little crunch.
- Transfer peas to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to stop the cooking and retain the bright green color; drain well. Transfer peas to a large bowl and add arugula-spinach combo and 2/3 cup blueberries.
- Combine oil, blueberries, vinegar, and honey for dressing in a food processor or blender; process until smooth.
- Drizzle dressing over salad mixture and toss until well coated. Sprinkle almonds over the top and serve.
