Baby Beet Salad With Sugar Snap Peas Recipes

Steps:

• For the salad: Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Using a paring knife, trim the ends of the snap peas. Blanch the peas in the boiling water just until tender-crisp and bright green, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the peas from the pot and cool completely in ice water, about 1 minute. Drain the peas on a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
• Using a chef's knife, trim the roots and stems off the radishes. Quarter about half and thinly slice the rest to create texture in the salad. Mince the chives.
• In a large salad bowl, combine the peas, radishes, and minced chives.
• For the vinaigrette: In a small glass jar or plastic container with a tight-fitting lid, combine the olive oil, vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper. Shake to combine.
• Toss the vinaigrette with the salad and serve.

Steps:

• Make the salad: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Wrap red beets in parchment, then in foil. Repeat with yellow beets. Bake until tender, 60 to 65 minutes. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Peel, and halve (or quarter larger beets). Place red and yellow beets in separate bowls.
• Add peas to bowl with yellow beets. Sprinkle red and yellow beets with the thyme, salt, and pepper.
• Make the dressing: Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until caramelized, about 30 minutes. Stir in thyme and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cook for 2 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, and puree. Add water, salt, pepper, and remaining 2 teaspoons oil and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Puree until smooth. (Dressing should be thick.)
• Toss 1/2 of the dressing with the red beets and 1/2 with the yellow beet mixture. Combine beets, and gently toss with shoots. Garnish with pea flowers if desired, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Soak onion in cold water in a small bowl 10 minutes, then drain in a sieve.
• Whisk together vinegar, coriander, sugar, and salt in a salad bowl, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking.
• Toss onion and beets with dressing.
• Steam sugar snaps over boiling water, covered, 2 minutes, then transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well in sieve and toss with beet mixture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Wrap beets in aluminum foil. Bake until tender, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool. Peel beets and cut into wedges.
• Cook sugar snap peas in large saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Drain. Rinse with cold water; drain well. Pat dry.
• Mix mustard and vinegar in small bowl. Gradually mix in oil, then dill and sugar. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover sugar snap peas and chill. Cover dressing and beets separately and let stand at room temperature.)
• Line platter with arugula. Mix beets, sugar snap peas and dressing in medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon atop arugula.

Steps:

• You need 2 large handfuls of baby spinach -- check for nasty stalky or wilted bits and then give it a really good wash (nobody likes gritty spinach). Spin dry, and add to a salad bowl with 2 smaller handfuls of fresh peas (unless you are lucky enough to get young peas which are sweet and tender, you should blanch the peas in boiling, unsalted water and leave to cool). Dress the salad at the last minute with olive oil and lemon juice dressing and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.

Steps:

• Dice or julienne pickled beets. Toss with peas and onion in a bowl.
• Combine vegan mayonnaise and onion powder in a separate bowl. Stir into beet mixture.
• Chill to let flavors blend, about 1 hour. Serve.

Steps:

• Drain the beets well, blot with a paper towel.
• Cook the peas in boiling water for 1 minute, and immediately rinse well in cold water and drain.
• Make the dressing with the next five ingredients and mix well.
• It can be done with a whisk or in the food processor.
• In a large bowl place the beets and peas and pour the dressing over the veggies.
• Toss gently until all the veggies are covered well.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours.

Steps:

• Slice sugar snap peas on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces (about 2 1/2 cups). Add sunflower seeds, juice and zest of half the lemon, feta cheese, sunflower oil, and dill. Season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine. Garnish with slices of lemon and additional feta.
