Snow Pea, Scallion, and Radish Salad
by Ellie Krieger
The lively flavors and eye-catching look of this salad, excerpted from the cookbook The Food You Crave, are testament to how much just a few ingredients can accomplish when they are put together with care.
Serves 4
2 cups (8 oz.) snow peas, trimmed
2 scallions (white and green parts), thinly sliced
4 radishes, trimmed and cut into thin strips (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tsp. granulated sugar
1 Tbs. walnut or canola oil
Put the snow peas in a microwave-safe bowl with 1 Tbs. water. Cover tightly and microwave for 1 minute. Drain and let cool. Cut the snow peas on the diagonal into 1/2-inch diamond shapes, discarding the end pieces.
In a medium serving bowl, combine the snow peas, scallions, and radishes. In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and oil until the sugar dissolves. Pour over the salad and serve.
