    I don't mean to toot my own horn, but......okay that is exactly what I'm about to do. But for good reason. This dish is beautiful isn't it?  Yes, I think so too. See, like I said, a good reason.

    With this crazy endless winter we've had this year, I am ready to lighten things up with some beautifully bright veggie dishes. 

    Warm Snap Pea Salad

    Is this a salad or a side dish? 

    I don't know if/what the exact criteria is on naming something a salad but Warm Snap Pea Salad sounded better than Warm Snap Pea Side Dish, don't you think? Call it what you want.

    I think snap pea dishes are pretty versatile.  I use snap peas a lot when making a stir fry and I think they pair well with beef dishes.  But tonight I served this along side of  lemon butter pork chops and roasted garlic couscous.  It was a perfectly balanced spring meal (in my humble opinion).

    Oh, here is another reason to make this warm snap pea salad: It cooks up in less than ten minutes.  Not even the boxed side dishes cook up in that time.

      It is always the simple dishes that look absolutely elegant. I can imagine seeing this being served at Downton Abbey. Very creative.
