Equipment
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!
