How To Make Snap Pea Burrata Salad

Cut the snap peas on a diagonal and thinly slice the radishes.
Whisk the ingredients for the lemon vinaigrette.
Grill the sourdough bread. Cut it into cubes.
Throw snap peas, radishes, green onion, and mint in a large bowl. Drizzle with lemon dressing and toss to coat.
Top with croutons and torn pieces of burrata. Serve!

Can This Be Made Ahead?

Not really. A long sit in the refrigerator kind of messes up all the contrasting textures here. You want everything to be pretty fresh. However, the dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Feeling too lazy to make the dressing?

No worries! Squeeze some lemon juice and drizzle some olive oil over the top and sprinkle with a generous pinch of course salt. Fewer steps, still absolutely delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dressing:

1 tbsp shallot, minced (about ¼ small shallot)
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp good quality olive oil
1 tsp honey
Pinch coarse salt
Pinch freshly cracked black pepper

For the Salad:

Olive oil
2 slices sourdough
2 cups snap peas

Instructions

Make the dressing: Place all dressing ingredients in a small jar. Whisk or shake well to combine.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat. Lightly oil the sourdough bread and grill on both sides until golden and crispy, yet still soft on the inside. Let the bread cool enough to handle, then cut into cubes for croutons.
Roughly chop the snap peas and place in a large bowl. Add sliced radish, green onions and mint. Add the dressing, starting with about half and adding more to taste. Toss to coat.
Place pea mixture on a serving dish. Top with torn pieces of burrata and croutons.
