    Recipe Introduction


    The wonderful thing about stopping by a great farm stand is that you are easily surprised by the variety and abundance of crisp produce. Vegetable salads are a festive way to enjoy these flavors.


    List of Ingredients


    • Vegetables:
    • 1 cup sugar snap peas
    • 1/2 cup sliced radishes
    • 1/2 cup chopped scallions
    • 1 cup julienned summer squash
    • 1 cup sliced baby zucchini
    • Dressing:
    • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
    • 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
    • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
    • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
    • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper


    Instructions


    1. Prepare the Vegetables:
      First, use a sharp paring knife to trim the ends and pull any tough strings from the sugar snap peas.
    2. Second, blanch the peas in a large saucepan filled with boiling salted water. Cook just until they’re tender, about 3 minutes. Remove the beans using a slotted spoon and immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.

    3. Third, combine the cooled peas, radishes, scallions, squash and zucchini in a large bowl, toss together.
    4. Prepare the Vinaigrette:
      Combine the oil with the vinegar in a small bowl; whisk in the mustard, sugar, salt and pepper.
    5. Assemble the Salad:
      Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss together gently. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.
