Cucumber and Green Pea Salad topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
Salad:
- 450 g shelled sugar snap peas
- 2 small cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Refueling:
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation:
- For the salad: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pea pods and cook until bright green, about 1-2 minutes. Drain and transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water to cool for 2 minutes. Drain and transfer the peas to a salad bowl. Toss with cucumbers, tomatoes, and dill.
Culinary advice: Instead of regular boiling, you can lightly steam the pea pods for 2 minutes.
- For filling: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, and lemon zest until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well.
