A colorful blend of crisp spring vegetables, tender greens, and toasted pistachios dressed in a zesty lemon vinaigrette. Quick, healthy, and tailored for fresh flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

16 oz fresh asparagus, trimmed and diagonally sliced
8 oz sugar snap peas, strings removed
8 oz radishes, thinly sliced
2 green onions, sliced
1/3 cup pistachios, toasted
5 oz baby spinach
Kosher salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste
2 lemons, zested and juiced
2 cloves garlic, minced
23 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon honey

Instructions

Trim woody ends of asparagus and slice diagonally into bite-sized pieces.
Remove strings from snap peas, if needed. Thinly slice radishes on a mandolin or with a sharp knife.
In a small pan, lightly toast pistachios until fragrant. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, toss baby spinach, asparagus, snap peas, radishes, and green onions.
In a separate small bowl, whisk lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper.
Pour dressing over the salad. Toss gently to coat. Top with toasted pistachios before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, substitute pea shoots for snap peas.
Arugula can replace spinach for a peppery kick.
Use avocados as a pistachio alternative for a creamy texture.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
