Warm Snow-Pea
&
Chicken Salad
Snow peas are flatter than garden.
And since they're not fully opaque.
You can usually see the shadows of the flat green orbs within.
Snap, which are a cross between the garden and snow.
Have plump pods with a crisp, snappy texture.
The pods of both are edible.
And both feature a slightly sweeter and cooler taste than the garden pea.
And the great news is, they aren’t just for stir-fries any more.
Thinly sliced, their crunchy texture and sweet taste combine with a creamy Asian dressing to make this salad special.
Makes 4 servings, 1-1/4 c. each.
