Sugar Snap Pea, Mandarin Orange Salad

5/29/2024

0 Comments

 
Ingredients
For the salad
  • 14 ounces (4 cups) sugar snap peas
  • 1/2 large English cucumber, cut into 1/8-inch rounds
  • 1 small red bell pepper, stemmed and cut into 1/8-inch slices
  • 3/4 cups canned mandarin orange segments, drained
  • 1 small red onion, cut into 1/8-inch slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds, for garnish

 
For the dressing
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, peanut oil, or avocado oil

 
Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the vegetables and fruit - the sugar snap peas, cucumber, bell pepper, mandarin oranges, and red onion. Set it aside, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate it if not serving immediately.
  2. Make the dressing.  In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey or maple syrup and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the oil  whisking constantly until fully combined.
  3. Assemble and serve.  Drizzle about three quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss with a large spoon to combine. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Serve the remaining dressing on the side.
  4. This salad tastes even better after the vegetables get a chance to soak up the dressing a bit, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, in the fridge.

Ingredients
  • 1 cup dried brown lentils
  • 8 cups water, divided
  • ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 medium onions, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided

  • Juice of 1 lemon, plus wedges for serving

Directions

1. Pick through lentils, discarding any stones. Rinse.
2. Combine the lentils in a small saucepan with 3 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer and cook, covered, until tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions, carrots, 1/2 teaspoon salt and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and lightly caramelized, 15 to 20 minutes. Add garlic and coriander; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in greens and cilantro; cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens have wilted, about 1 minute.
4. Add 1 cup of water and cook, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for 30 seconds.
5. Add the lentils and their liquid, potatoes, lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 12 to 14 minutes.
5. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
