Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb. trimmed sugar snap peas (about 5 cups)
- 3 tablespoons store-bought or homemade Italian salad dressing* (or more to taste)
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley, a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, shaved Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
- Add trimmed sugar snap peas and 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water. Cook until crisp-tender, about 1 ½ to 2 minutes, until the peas turn bright green and still have a firm snap.
- While the snap peas are cooking, fill a large bowl with ice water. Drain the peas, transfer them to ice water, and let sit for about 1 minute.
- Drain again and dry thoroughly with paper towels or a dish cloth.
- Place the snap peas in a serving bowl and toss with dressing. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
- Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Garnish with parsley, lemon, or shaved Parmesan just before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can use homemade Italian dressing.
