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.

This salad is fresh and light. I did make some changes to the dressing, it was too lemony and tart so I added 1 tbls. of honey to it and 1 tsp of dijon mustard it lighted it up. I also let it chill for 1 hour before serving. I'll make again with the changes. Great for summer.

I loved the fresh, bright taste of this recipe. I did change it up a bit based upon the ingredients I had on hand. I used snow peas rather than the sugar snap peas and I used yellow grape tomatoes in the place of the red cherry tomatoes. I followed the remainder of the recipe almost exactly except that I did add 1/2 tsp of stone ground mustard and a pinch of sugar according to the suggestion of a previous reviewer. Both my husband and I completely enjoyed the finished result of delicious spring fresh salad. I will definitely make it again!
