Sugar Snap Salad
- 3 large handfuls mixed salad greens
- 2 large handfuls sugar snap peas
- 2 tablespoons finely minced red onion
- 1 ounce ricotta salata grated with the fine teeth of a box grater (about 1/4 cup)
- 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- pinch sugar (optional)
- Wash and dry your salad greens, then tear into bite-sized pieces. (I do this all in my salad spinner.) Set aside.
- Cut the sugar snap peas into thin slices on the bias, discarding the stem ends. (Slice several at once to save time.) Place in a bowl. Add the minced red onion and ricotta salata and stir to combine. Set aside.
- Whisk the vinegar, mustard, olive oil in a bowl until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add a pinch of sugar if the acidity needs to be softened.
- Pour about 1/4 of the dressing into the bowl with the pea mixture. Stir until peas are evenly coated with dressing. Set aside. Add salad greens to bowl with dressing, and toss to coat.
- Divide greens evenly between 2 plates, then top each serving with half of the pea mixture. Grate more fresh pepper on top of desired.
