SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD



Sugar Snap Pea Salad image

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.

Time 20m

Yield 4 appetizer servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Salt and black pepper
1/2 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
1 teaspoon minced green garlic or 1/2 teaspoon minced regular garlic
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, more for drizzling
4 ounces pea shoots, ends trimmed, or use baby arugula or microgreens
10 ounces ripe, runny Camembert (or another washed- rind cheese such as Époisses or vacherin)
1 tablespoon finely chopped chervil or chives

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Have ready a bowl of well-salted ice water. Drop peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute; use a slotted spoon to transfer peas to ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry with a towel.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together garlic and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Whisk in oil. Add pea shoots or arugula and toss to coat.
  • Scoop out runny cheese from inside rind and spoon onto four small plates, smoothing the cheese to cover most of the plate. Scatter snap peas on top of cheese. Drizzle with olive oil. Mound greens over peas. Sprinkle with chervil or chives and serve.

SUGAR-SNAP PEA AND STRAWBERRY SALAD



Sugar-Snap Pea and Strawberry Salad image

An easy way to use up strawberries (2 of those little green baskety thingies). Light and summery too. From the Diane Mott Davidson series about a caterer who solves murder mysteries. This one is from "The Main Corpse." I read them for the recipes! If you don't have sugar snap peas, snow peas or green beans work too.

Categories     Strawberry

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons raspberry vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 lb sugar snap pea, including pods, strings removed (about one cup)
1 lb ripe strawberry, thickly sliced (about 4 cups)

Steps:

  • Combine olive oil, vinegar, and mustard in a small bowl; whisk to combine.
  • Steam sugar snap peas for about 30 seconds or until bright green and still crunchy Remove from heat and run under cold water to stop cooking.
  • Drain.
  • Toss sugar snap peas with strawberries and dressing (Dressing may have settled, feel free to give it another whisk before adding to salad).
  • Serve immediately or chill for no more than an hour.
  • Recipe may be doubled, tripled, etc.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh sugar snap peas and blueberries are essential for this salad. If you can, pick them from your own garden or buy them from a local farmer's market.
  • Blanch the sugar snap peas. Blanching the sugar snap peas helps to preserve their bright green color and crisp texture.
  • Use a light dressing. A light vinaigrette dressing is the perfect complement to this salad. It won't overpower the delicate flavors of the sugar snap peas and blueberries.
  • Add some nuts or seeds. Nuts or seeds add a nice crunchy texture to the salad. Try adding almonds, walnuts, pecans, or sunflower seeds.
  • Serve the salad immediately. This salad is best enjoyed fresh. It will start to wilt if you let it sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Sugar snap pea and blueberry salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a light and flavorful salad, give this one a try.
