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.

Tips:

  • Choose crisp and tender sugar snap peas: Look for pods that are bright green in color and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Prepare the peas properly: Trim the ends of the peas and remove any strings. If the peas are large, you can also halve them lengthwise.
  • Don't overcook the peas: Sugar snap peas are best when they are cooked quickly and still retain their bright green color. Aim to cook them for no more than 2-3 minutes.
  • Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs like mint and basil add a burst of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use less as they are more concentrated.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste the dish before serving and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more lemon juice, salt, or pepper to suit your taste.
