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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
