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
- Prepare the Vegetables:
First, use a sharp paring knife to trim the ends and pull any tough strings from the sugar snap peas.
- 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.
- Third, combine the cooled peas, radishes, scallions, squash and zucchini in a large bowl, toss together.
- Prepare the Vinaigrette:
Combine the oil with the vinegar in a small bowl; whisk in the mustard, sugar, salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Salad:
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and toss together gently. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.
