WEEKEND BITE: SNAP PEA SALAD WITH BURRATA CHEESE
Paige Hull
Less than a month left of the summer season and we are taking full advantage of the fresh produce. Nothing beats a healthy, simple and, of course, delicious salad and we've found a great one from Bon Appetit Magazine. The recipe is included below.
Snap Pea Salad with Burrata Cheese
Ingredients
SERVINGS: 4
8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed
4 cups arugula, thick stems trimmed
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves plus more for serving
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
1 pound burrata or fresh buffalo mozzarella
Directions
Cut pea pods in half lengthwise, leaving some peas on each side of pods. Combine peas, arugula, 1/4 cup basil, and 1/4 cup mint in a large bowl. Add oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and toss to coat. Season salad with salt and more lemon juice, if desired.
Tear open balls of burrata (if using buffalo mozzarella, slice 1/2-inch thick) and arrange on a platter. Top with salad and more basil and mint.
