Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Blueberry and Sugar Snap Pea Salad.
Step 1
Start by trimming the ends off your sugar snap peas and gently pulling off the tough strings along the sides.
Step 2
This little prep step ensures a delightful crunch in every bite.
Step 3
Next, grab a saucepan and place a steamer insert inside.
Step 4
Fill the saucepan with water, making sure it sits just below the bottom of the steamer, then bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 5
Once the water is bubbling, add the sugar snap peas to the steamer, cover it up, and let them steam for about a minute.
Step 6
Keep an eye on them; you want them tender yet still crisp for that perfect texture.
Step 7
As soon as they’re done, quickly transfer the peas to a bowl filled with ice water.
Step 8
This quick dip halts the cooking process and locks in that vibrant green color we all love.
Step 9
After a few minutes, drain the peas well.
Step 10
In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooled sugar snap peas with a fresh arugula and baby spinach mix, along with a handful of juicy blueberries for a pop of sweetness.
Step 11
For the dressing, toss some olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, and a few more blueberries into a food processor or blender.
Step 12
Blend until smooth and creamy, creating a deliciously tangy dressing that will elevate your salad.
Step 13
Drizzle this vibrant dressing over your salad mixture and toss everything gently to ensure each ingredient is beautifully coated.
Step 14
Finally, sprinkle some sliced almonds on top for an added crunch before serving.
Step 15
Enjoy this refreshing salad that’s not just a feast for the eyes but also a burst of flavor in every bite!.
