Three Peas Spring Salad
2 cups fresh snow peas, cut thinly on diagonal
2 cups frozen or fresh green peas
1 cup micro baby pea shoots
1 cup arugula leaves
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
4 radishes, thinly sliced
Blanch the snow peas and green peas in lightly salted water for 2 minutes. Drain. Shock in iced water to stop cooking process. Place in a bowl with the baby pea shoots, arugula leaves, red onion and radishes. (Can be done hours ahead, then refrigerate until ready to serve.)
Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoon yogurt
¼ cup olive oil
Garnish: finely chopped mint leaves
For dressing, whisk the vinegar, lemon zest and juice, salt, yogurt and oil in a bowl until emulsified, about 1 minute. (Can be made hours ahead, then refrigerate until ready to serve.)
Pour dressing over salad. Toss gently. Serve the salad UNDER a portion of grilled fish or on the side of grilled chicken garnished with mint leaves. Perfect spring side dish.
