This quick salad is a lesson in contrast: crisp cucumbers and sugar snap peas paired with creamy avocado. The bright lime-sesame dressing keeps it feeling fresh and light. With a quick finish of toasted sesame seeds and fresh mint, this salad comes together in minutes and pairs well with fish or seafood, roast chicken, pork or even grilled or baked tofu.

Directions

  1. Whisk together 3 tablespoons lime juice, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, a few grinds of pepper and a big pinch of sugar in a bowl. Add 3 Persian cucumbers (cut into half-moons), 2 cups sugar snap peas (sliced on the bias) and 1 diced avocado; toss. Top with 1/4 cup chopped mint and 2 teaspoons toasted sesame seeds; toss.
