Kale and Sugar Snap Pea Salad image

Here's a recipe Mark Bittman picked up on a road trip with his daughter across the United States, from the Black Market restaurant in Indianapolis. Kale and sugar snap peas combine with a dressing of ginger, miso and rice vinegar, with dried apricots and feta cheese, almonds and mint - a riot of flavors, and an excellent meal.

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup peeled, chopped ginger
1/4 cup miso paste
1/2 cup rice vinegar, or as needed
Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons or limes
1/4 cup sugar, or as needed
Coarse salt and black pepper
2 tablespoons sugar
6 to 8 dried apricots
1 medium bunch kale (Tuscan, red Russian, Winterbor or lacinato), coarse stems removed and discarded, roughly chopped
2 cups sugar snap peas, stemmed
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves, or as needed

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: In a blender or food processor, combine the oil, ginger, miso, 1/2 cup vinegar, lemon or lime zest and juice, and sugar. Process for about 30 seconds to form a creamy emulsion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and add vinegar if needed.
  • Make the salad: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the sugar with 1/4 cup water. Add the dried apricots and poach just until rehydrated, 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • In a serving bowl, combine the kale, snap peas and feta. Add salad dressing to taste, and toss well. Sprinkle with almonds and garnish with poached apricots. Sprinkle with mint and serve.

This salad is a great way to get your daily dose of greens. The kale is packed with nutrients, and the sugar snap peas are a good source of fiber. The dressing is also really healthy, and it's made with olive oil, lemon juice, and honey.

I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I usually add a little bit of feta cheese to mine, but it's also great without it.
