This crunchy, lightly cooked salad gives the humble pea some respect and is a perfect treat as spring comes around. Peas are sweet in all their forms, and this Peas-In-A-Pod Salad combo combines sugar snaps... and snow peas with a favorite pantry standby, frozen peas. All brought together in a creamy yogurt vinaigrette.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl with cold water and ice.
Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water and cook for 20 to 30 seconds. Add the snow peas to the boiling pot of water and also cook for 20 to 30 seconds, then stir in the frozen peas and cook for 20 seconds. Drain the peas, then immediately drop into the prepared ice bath. Drain again and pat dry.
In a bowl, whisk together the scallion, cider vinegar, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil, then the Greek yogurt. Taste for seasonings.
Before serving, add the peas to the dressing along with the baby kale, arugula or pea shoots. Toss to coat then serve.
Chef Tips
To wilt the greens, wash the arugula and/or snow pea shoots in cold water without spinning them dry. Pop them wet into a saucepan with a lid. Turn up the heat. The water clinging to their leaves will turn to steam and in 30 seconds or so the greens will have wilted. Drain under running cold water to stop the cooking. Gently pat dry.
