It is March ~ the month of all things Green.
For our Cooking Light Virtual Supper Club, we are keeping in the theme of ' All Things Green '
I wanted something fresh and light ~ and GREEN. I found my recipe here on Cooking Light
Lemony Snap Peas
8 cups water
12 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 shallot, minced
Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a large Dutch oven. Add peas; cook 30 seconds or until crisp-tender. Drain and plunge into ice water; drain. Slice half of peas diagonally.
Combine Lemon rind and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk.
Add peas and toss to coat.
This was a great light side dish. The secret is to keep the snap peas crunchy and add lots of lemony flavor.
Now . . . let's see what everyone else has brought for our GREEN feast.
Jerry has made Salmon with Cucumber Salad and Dill
Sauce
Val is making an appetizer of a Creamy Feta Spinach Dip
Susan is bringing a salad with New

Sara is bringing Shrimp in

Y'all enjoy ~

Thank you Sandi for remembering us as you are enjoying the sunshine of Malta and cooking with Jamie Oliver. These peas personify what we are all waiting anxiously for here in the Northern Hemisphere.
You are in Malta with Jamie Oliver! Wow! These peas look delicious!
Perfect for spring! Enjoy yourself!
I love anything with lemon, and this looks great!
Wow! I love that brilliant bright green of the peas! I can practically feel the c-r-u-n-c-h-! With the tart lemon? Heaven after all those winter root vegetables!
This looks great - I should add them to my St Patrick's Day menu for next week!
