Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1/2 lb. snow peas, trimmed
  • 5 radishes, thinly sliced and then cut into thin strips
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp. honey
  • Pinch of sea salt, plus more, to taste
  • Pinch of freshly ground pepper, plus more, to taste
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • Leaves from 2 fresh mint sprigs, cut into thin ribbons

Instruction

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Fill a large bowl two-thirds full with ice water.
  • Add the snow peas to the boiling water and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Drain the snow peas and then immediately plunge them into the ice water. Let stand for a minute or two, then drain the snow peas and pat dry.
  • Cut the snow peas on the diagonal into 1-inch pieces and place in a bowl. Add the radishes to the bowl with the snow peas.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Add the oil in a slow, steady stream and whisk to blend. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Add enough dressing to coat the snow peas and radishes and toss to coat well; you may not need it all. Add the mint to the salad and toss gently to mix. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
