This salad is the perfect balance of bright, tangy, and savory. It’s delicious served with pasta or fish, and it requires just 10 ingredients, 15 minutes, and 1 bowl. Let’s snap to it!
How to Make Snap Pea Salad
This recipe starts with a simple, lemony, mustard-infused dressing that contrasts beautifully with the crunchy, subtly sweet snap peas. It has waves of flavor from fresh garlic, salt, pepper, and shallot with maple syrup to provide a little sweet balance and olive oil for richness. To minimize dirty dishes, we mix the dressing in a large serving bowl and then add the remaining ingredients straight into that bowl. But feel free to shake up the dressing in a jar if you’re making it ahead or if that’s more your style. The remaining salad ingredients include fresh basil (or other soft herbs like mint or tarragon) for herby goodness, chopped pistachios for richness and crunch, and optional red pepper flakes for a little heat and color contrast. Give it a toss, and prepare your tastebuds for deliciousness! We hope you LOVE this snap pea salad! It’s:BrightTangyCrunchyFreshSimple& Addictively delicious!
