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.

Radishes are crisp and peppery, and when combined with a sweet, citrus-flavored dressing, everybody will be coming back for more of this refreshing salad. We enjoy it as a luncheon salad with crackers and garnished with hard-boiled egg wedges, but it's also the perfect sidekick for a spring/summer cookout or picnic.

SUGAR SNAP PEA AND RADISH SALAD
A mandoline is ideal for slicing radishes into perfect thin rounds, but a sharp knife also works. The vegetables can be trimmed and sliced a few hours ahead. To keep them crisp, wait to toss them with the other ingredients until just before serving.

Tips:
- Choose fresh and crisp vegetables: Select bright green, firm peas and radishes without blemishes or wilting. Fresh vegetables will have a better flavor and texture in the salad.
- Prepare the vegetables properly: Trim the radishes and slice them thinly. If using sugar snap peas, remove the strings from the sides. Blanch the peas and radishes briefly in boiling water to enhance their color and flavor.
- Use a light and flavorful dressing: A simple vinaigrette or lemon-based dressing is a good choice for this salad. Avoid heavy or creamy dressings, as they can overpower the delicate flavors of the vegetables.
- Add some herbs or nuts for extra flavor: Fresh herbs like mint or dill, or toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts, can add extra flavor and texture to the salad.
- Serve the salad chilled: This salad is best served chilled, so refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
