Ingredients

Salad

  • 1 pound sugar snap peas
  • 1 ½ cups arugula-baby spinach combo
  • 2/3 cup fresh blueberries

Dressing

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • ¼ cup fresh blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon slivered almonds

Directions

Step 1
Cut ends off snap peas and pull off the tough strings running up the sides.

Step 2
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add snap peas, cover, and steam for 1 minute or until you reach desired tenderness. Don't overcook because you still want a little crunch.

Step 3
Transfer peas to a bowl of ice water for a few minutes to stop the cooking and retain the bright green color; drain well. Transfer peas to a large bowl and add arugula-spinach combo and 2/3 cup blueberries.

Step 4
Combine oil, blueberries, vinegar, and honey for dressing in a food processor or blender; process until smooth.

Step 5
Drizzle dressing over salad mixture and toss until well coated. Sprinkle almonds over the top and serve.

Cook’s Note:

I used a combination of arugula and baby spinach. If your store does not carry the arugula-baby spinach combo, you may use either one on its own. If I had to choose, I'd go with the arugula. Use as much of the dressing as suits your taste and if there is any left, store it in the fridge.
