Ginger Pea Salad Close Up

This crispy salad is so refreshing!  The simple dressing of lemon juice, olive oil and ginger add extra zest to crunchy sugar snap peas and cucumbers. This salad screams for warm weather and would be an awesome side dish for Spring and Summer BBQs.  Fancy enough for entertaining, this fast, easy recipe is also great for weeknight dinners.  It’s one of those salads that seems to get even better after sitting overnight so don’t hesitate to make it a day in advance.   And, while the flavors were designed for maximum deliciousness, it also happens to be vegan, gluten-free, and paleo-friendly.
