Well, would you just look at this bowl of summer deliciousness.
Who else loves sugar snap peas in the summer? They're one of my favorite veggies ever this time of year. 'Cause when snap peas are good, they're really good.
I swear, it's like candy that grows on a vine. Crunchy and sweet and just all around perfect. I could eat them for dessert! I guess they don't call 'em sugar snap peas for nothing, huh?
A few days ago I decided to take some of my wonderful sugar snap peas and throw together a quick salad with them. It was a very good choice on my part.
The creamy avocado compliments the crunchy snap peas, and the tomatoes add a nice pop of color. I threw together a quick dressing with soy sauce, vinegar, and sweet chili sauce. Oh, how delicious it was.
Summer is the time for light meals, fresh produce, and no use of the oven at all. This salad delivers all of that. Use it as a side at dinner or the main focal point during the lunch. It's even easy enough to prepare as a quick snack.
Last but not least, how beautiful is this thing? My mom was looking at the un-edited pictures and she asked if I had brought up the saturation. No, mom. That's just nature being all beautiful and amazing.
It's crazy what nature can do!
