Ingredients

  • 1 lb. trimmed sugar snap peas (about 5 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons of your favorite store-bought or homemade Italian salad dressing*

Instructions

  • Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Add trimmed sugar snap peas and 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, and cook snap peas until crisp-tender (about 1 ½ to 2 minutes).
  • While the snap peas are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Drain peas, transfer to ice water, then drain again and dry with paper towels.
  • Place snap peas in a serving bowl and toss with dressing. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Make sure to wash and trim the peas
  • The peas cook very fast so keep an eye on them or they will overcook, turning them mushy and losing nutritional value
  • For a simple homemade vinaigrette, whisk together the following ingredients and use 3 tablespoons of the homemade dressing for your snap peas:
    HOMEMADE RED WINE VINAIGRETTE
    • 6 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • Dash of pepper
