Summer Sugar Snap Pea Salad

It's Sunday, so naturally I found myself at the Farmer's Market again and was drawn to a vendor with beautiful organic sugar snap peas...came home to make an impromptu salad with some other summer ingredients. 




Summer Sugar Snap Pea Salad
1 lb. Sugar Snap Peas, cut in half, diagonally
3 cups mixed baby spinach and/ or arugula or choice of greens
2-3 Tb Olive oil
1 Tb. fresh lemon juice
1 tsp. Champagne vinegar
1 Tb. fresh mint, coarsely chopped
2 Tb. fresh parsley, coarsely chopped
1 tsp. sumac
1 cup fresh sunflower greens
1/4 cup sunflower seeds
2 soft boiled eggs
kosher salt and ground pepper
Gomasio, optional


1. Blanch the sugar snap peas in salted, boiling water for 1 1/2 minutes, until bright green and crisp. Drain and cool down in a bowl of ice water.  
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, mint, parsley and sumac. Season with salt and pepper. 
3. In a large bowl mix together sugar snap peas, sunflower greens, spinach and arugula. Add vinaigrette and gently toss. Plate, top with an egg, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and Gomasio, if desired.
