SNAP PEA SALAD WITH ALMONDS IN AN HERBED VINAIGRETTE [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

For the Herbed Vinaigrette

• 1 small shallot, minced
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp. agave nectar
• Zest and juice of ½ fresh lemon
• 1 Tbs. fresh mint, chopped
• 1 Tbs. fresh basil, chopped
• ½ tsp. dried oregano
• ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
• Kosher salt to taste

For the Snap Pea Salad

• 1 ½ lbs. fresh snap peas, stems trimmed
• 1/3 cup slivered almonds

PREPARATION

1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the vinaigrette. Whisk until everything is well combined. Add salt to taste. Set aside until ready to use.
2. In a large pot, boil water and add some salt. Cook the snap peas for just a few minutes, until they turn bright green. Drain the peas and run them under cold water (or dip them in an ice bath) to stop the cooking.
3. Transfer the snap peas to a bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette. Sprinkle almonds on top. Serve.
