Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams sugar snap peas
- 6 pieces radishes
- 10 grams fresh mint leaves
- 10 grams fresh parsley
- 1 piece lemon
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the sugar snap peas by snapping off the stem end and removing any attached string, if needed.
Blanch the sugar snap peas: Bring a pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water. Add the peas to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then transfer them to the ice water to cool immediately. Drain and set aside.
Thinly slice the radishes using a sharp knife or mandoline for uniformity.
Chop the fresh mint leaves and parsley finely and set them aside.
Prepare the dressing: Zest and juice the lemon into a small bowl. Add the extra-virgin olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly to combine.
In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched sugar snap peas, sliced radishes, chopped mint, and parsley.
Pour the lemon dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled version.
