Recipe: Arugula, Strawberry, & Snap Pea Salad

from Go Dairy Free

The sugar snap peas can be eaten raw or cooked. To cook, drop the snap peas in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and immediately plunge the snap peas in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and preserve the bright green color.

 

Dressing

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon white balsamic vinegar OR red balsamic vinegar

1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice

½ tablespoon water

⅛ teaspoon grated lemon zest

1/16 teaspoon salt (I fill my ⅛ teaspoon about halfway)

1/16 teaspoon black pepper

 

Salad

6 to 8 cups arugula leaves

1 cup sliced strawberries

1 to 1 ½ cups sugar snap peas (see Snap Pea Note below)

 

For the dressing, whisk together the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, water, zest, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.

To prepare the salad, divide the arugula, strawberries, and sugar snap peas evenly among four plates. Drizzle the dressing evenly over the salads.
