Best Snow Pea Grapefruit Orange Salad Recipes

SNAP PEA, ORANGE AND RADISH SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring to a boil; season generously with salt. Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl. Blanch the sugar snap peas in the boiling water for 2 minutes, or until they turn bright green and soften slightly. Strain, then immediately plunge into the ice bath to cool completely. Drain well. Spread out the snap peas on a baking sheet and dry with paper towels.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the prosciutto slices; cook for 1 to 2 minutes per side, until crispy. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to cool and drain of excess oil.
• Add the dried sugar snap peas to a large bowl, and crumble the prosciutto over the peas. Drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the goat cheese, shallots, orange supremes, orange juice, radishes, mint and tarragon; gently toss together. Season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.

SNOW PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Trim ends of snow peas and pull off strings. Stack about a dozen snow peas at a time on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to cut them at an angle in thin julienne. Place in a bowl of ice water.
• In a small bowl, whisk together lemon oil, lemon juice and a teaspoon of salt, or to taste, and set aside.
• In a 12-inch skillet, heat extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add pancetta and cook until fat is rendered. Do not allow pancetta to brown. Add onion and cook on low until soft and transparent. Remove from heat. Drain snow peas and add to skillet. Return to medium heat and cook, stirring, just enough to warm and slightly wilt snow peas, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Whisk lemon dressing and pour into skillet. Add mint and toss. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to shallow bowls, scatter cheese on top and serve.

SPRING RADISH SALAD

Steps:

• For the dressing: In a small pot, bring the grapefruit juice to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce the juice to 1/4 cup. Set aside to cool.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the reduced grapefruit juice, vinegar, mustard, honey and soy sauce and season with salt and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil and whisk until emulsified.
• For the salad: Combine the radishes with the watercress and fennel in a medium bowl and toss with a small amount of the dressing. Arrange the avocado, grapefruit and orange on a platter, drizzle with the dressing and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle on the serrano, then top with the dressed radish mixture and serve.
