Categories     side-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound sugar snap peas, ends trimmed
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 ounces sliced prosciutto (about 3 slices)
1/2 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 shallot, sliced into thin (1/8-inch) rings
2 medium navel oranges, supremed (peel and pith removed, cut into segments with a paring knife)
1/4 cup fresh orange juice, squeezed from the leftover orange membranes
5 or 6 small red radishes, sliced into very thin rounds, preferably on a mandoline
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil; season generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Blanch the sugar snap peas in the boiling water for 2 minutes, or until they turn bright green and soften slightly. Strain, then immediately plunge into the ice bath to cool completely. Drain well. Spread out the snap peas on a baking sheet and dry with paper towels.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the prosciutto slices; cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to cool and drain of excess oil.
  • Add the dried sugar snap peas to a large bowl, and crumble the prosciutto over the peas. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the goat cheese, shallots, orange supremes, orange juice, radishes, mint and tarragon; gently toss together. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe avocados: Make sure the avocados are ripe but not too soft. They should yield to gentle pressure but not be mushy.
  • Use fresh sugar snap peas: Fresh sugar snap peas are crisp and have a sweet flavor. If you can't find fresh sugar snap peas, you can use frozen ones, but make sure to thaw them before using.
  • Segment the oranges: Segmenting oranges is a great way to remove the pith and seeds. To segment an orange, use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the orange. Then, score the orange from top to bottom, following the natural segments. Use your fingers to gently pull the segments apart.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing for this salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. This makes it a great option for busy weeknights.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This sugar snap pea, avocado, and orange salad is a refreshing and healthy side dish or light lunch. It is packed with nutrients and has a delicious combination of flavors and textures. The sweet oranges and creamy avocado pair perfectly with the crisp sugar snap peas. The dressing is light and tangy, and it brings all of the flavors together.
