A good guide to eating is to eat color! My Snap Pea, Tomato, and Cucumber Salad is an salad that can be easily thrown together for a healthy side or lunch! A great dish to let the kids help assemble-if they make it, they are more likely to eat it!
Salad:
1 package of sugar snap peas ( I got mine at Trader Joe’s for $2.99)
1 pint heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cucumber, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
Dressing:
juice of one half lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
zest of a lemon
sea salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Instructions:
Steam sugar snap peas for 2 minutes and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and cool (If you don’t have a steamer basket or insert. just boil them for 1-2 minutes). Combine with tomatoes, cucumbers, and garlic
For the dressing, whisk all ingredients together until smooth. Pour over salad and toss to combine
