SUGAR SNAP PEA SALAD WITH RADISHES, MINT AND RICOTTA SALATA



Sugar Snap Pea Salad With Radishes, Mint and Ricotta Salata image

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.

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
