Ingredients
Salad:
- 1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed
- 2 small Persian cucumbers, unpeeled, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (about 1/2 pint) cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Dressing:
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 1/2 large lemon)
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
For the salad: Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the snap peas and cook until vibrant green, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl of iced water to cool, about 2 minutes. Drain and add to a salad bowl. Stir in the cucumbers, tomatoes and dill.
For the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and lemon zest until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until coated.
Cook's Note: As an alternative to boiling, the snap peas can be lightly steamed for 2 minutes.

I made this recipe exactly as written and we found it to be very light and tasty. I can see how some reviewers found it bland and like they were eating raw vegetables (mainly because you are, but for anyone who likes something light and lemony, I would suggest this. A great summertime recipe, for sure. Next time I make it, I may choose to make it ahead of time as we found it to be even tastier the next day. I might also replace the dill with basil next time as one reviewer suggested...just for something different.

I think this dressing was very good tasting but could have used a little more "oomph." Something to jazz it up a bit. Very good though.
