Description
Lovely and light. This beautiful salad calls for three different peas (sugar snap peas, snow peas and sweet peas) and a zesty, ginger-lime vinaigrette, which makes for a sophisticated, yet simple, dish.
Directions
- Lightly toast the sesame seeds in a hot skillet, tossing them constantly for about 3–5 minutes.
- In a large pot of boiling water over high heat, blanch all 3 types of peas for 2 minutes, drain and then shock them in a bowl of cold water. Transfer to a strainer and drain thoroughly.
- In a small bowl, whisk the soy sauce, black pepper, lime juice and zest until well-blended, about 1–2 minutes.
- Continue to whisk, adding the ginger. Slowly drizzle in the canola or grapeseed oil, then add the sesame oil, mixing until well incorporated.
- In a large bowl, combine the salad dressing with the pea mixture. Toss with the sesame seeds, add the black pepper to taste and serve.
Optional: Garnish with freshly cracked coarse black pepper to taste.
