INGREDIENTS

YIELDS 6-8 SERVINGS

SALAD
  • 12 oz (340 g) fresh sugar snap peas divided
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup day-old bread cubed
  • 5 oz (142 g) baby arugula
  • 1½ oz (43 g) Verdini purple radish microgreens
  • 4 oz (113 g) feta cheese crumbled

BALSAMIC REDUCTION
  • 1½ cups balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
PREPARATION
FOR BALSAMIC REDUCTION

In a small saucepan over medium heat heat the balsamic vinegar and honey until simmering. Allow the mixture to simmer until reduced by at least half about 20 minutes or so until it can coat the back of a spoon. This can be cooled down and stored to use for a later date or used warm.

FOR SALAD

Spray a medium frying pan with cooking spray and sauté about half of the sugar snap peas until they are bright green and starting to brown a bit about 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Meanwhile slice the rest of the sugar snap peas open lengthwise so the pods are open and the peas are visible. Remove the sautéed peas from the pan and set aside. Heat olive oil in the same pan and add the bread cubes. Cook until golden about 5–7 minutes stirring occasionally.

TO ASSEMBLE

Arrange arugula on a platter or in a bowl then add sautéed snap peas raw sliced snap peas microgreens feta cheese and croutons. Drizzle balsamic reduction over to lightly dress.
