Sugar Snap Pea Salad – A super crunchy, addictive salad that would fit in just as well at a casual picnic as it would at a dinner served to guests.

This time of year you can find so many delicious options at farmer’s markets and even your local grocery stores. When vegetables are at their peak, you don’t need to do much to make them irresistible. I love them raw – light and crisp, yet hearty. This Sugar Snap Pea Salad might not look like much, but trust me, you won’t be able to stop eating it.

Sugar Snap Peas

One of my favorite raw veggies is sugar snap peas. They are super crunchy and a little sweet. The perfect size for little hands – my kids love them as snacks. They contain lots of vitamins and minerals, in particular vitamin C, niacin, folate, vitamin K, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. They also contain protein, fiber, and antioxidants, but only 35 calories in about 1 cup.

Sugar Snap Pea Salad

Combined with crunchy red onion, refreshing cucumber, sweet green peas, a few herbs and a quick oil-free vinaigrette, sugar snap peas are taken to the next level. It might not turn any snap pea haters into snap pea lovers, but if you are already a fan, you are going to LOVE this salad! I seriously didn’t want to share it was so good!

Feed a Crowd

Just like the Southwest Pasta Salad I posted last week, this Sugar Snap Pea Salad would be perfect for your backyard BBQ’s or picnics this summer. It will easily double, or even triple, to feed a crowd. The veggies will stay perfectly crisp for several days after so you can enjoy leftovers all week.

As always, I love hearing your feedback and seeing your photos. Please leave me a comment if you try this recipe and tag #veggieinspired @veggie_inspired on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
