1 pound carrots, sliced crosswise
1 pound snow peas, ends trimmed
1/2 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 tablespoons chopped almonds
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and vibrant snow peas and carrots. Look for snow peas that are bright green and crisp, and carrots that are deep orange and firm.
  • Prepare the snow peas and carrots properly. Trim the ends of the snow peas and remove any strings. Peel and cut the carrots into thin slices or julienne strips.

  • Serve snow peas and carrots as a side dish or main course. They're also a great addition to salads, stir-fries, and noodle dishes.
