Ingredients
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon maple syrup
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups sugar snap peas, ends trimmed and thinly sliced diagonally
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
1/4 cup chopped roasted salted pistachios
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, shallot, salt, and pepper to make the vinaigrette.
In a large bowl, toss snap peas with half the dressing until evenly coated. Add more dressing as needed, to taste.
Stir in basil, pistachios, and red pepper flakes. Toss gently to combine.
Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
For a nut-free version, substitute pistachios with toasted sliced almonds or sunflower seeds.
Snap peas can be substituted with fresh green beans, cut diagonally.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days (add dressings fresh before serving).
