Equipment

  • Skillet

Ingredients

  • 5 ounces baby spinach or tatsoi
  • 4 red radishes scrubbed, trimmed, and thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves torn in half
  • ½ cup fresh parsley leaves roughly chopped
  • 8 ounces fresh mozzarella torn into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces sugar snap peas ends trimmed and string removed, pods cut in half
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil plus a drizzle or two more, divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare Dressing:

  • In a bowl, combine the lemon juice and Dijon mustard. Slowly pour in the ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil, whisking as it's added, until the dressing is smooth and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.

Prepare Salad:

  • Combine the tatsoi or spinach with the radishes, mint, parsley and drizzle with a touch of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of salt. Toss to combine.

Prepare the Buttery Sugar Snap Peas:

  • Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Once melted and frothy, and add the sugar snap peas and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until tender-crisp and bright green, about 3-5 minutes. Turn off the heat.

To Serve:

  • Divide the salad between plates and pile the warm, buttery sugar snap peas on top. Arrange the torn mozzarella on top of each salad and serve with the dressing. Enjoy!
