Tarragon Dressed Charred Snap Peas
A beautiful dish of green peas along with sweet, smoky, crisp-tender, charred, snap peas dressed with a delightfully aromatic, creamy, tangy, tarragon dressing that is the perfect addition to any spring brunch or dinner table! A quick and simple dish that can be served as a refreshing, light side or as an exquisite alternative to a lettuce based salad no matter the occasion. Healthy, vibrant, and delicious - the perfect dish to brighten your spring or summer table!
With Easter on its way, it is time to think about brunch and the Easter dinner and this recipe is perfect for either! Serve it as crispy, flavorful, spring 'salad' alongside a quiche or frittata, omelets, eggs benedict, or any of your brunch offerings, or as a wonderful vegetable side dish as part of your Easter dinner.
Charring the snap peas gains them a lovely smokiness and a touch of tenderness while enhancing their inherent sweetness. Charring them in a super hot wok or skillet ensures that they char quickly, do not overcook, and keep their lovely bright green color inside with a wonderfully fresh flavor and crisp texture..
If you want a bit of extra 'lemony goodness' go ahead and add a little lemon zest to the dressing or as a garnish. If you want a bit of added color go ahead and add some grated carrot to the mix, and if you want a touch of heat add a sprinkle of crushed red pepper or a little aleppo pepper to the dressing. You can even add a bit of baby spinach to the mix if you want it to be 'more salad like' - no matter how you make or serve it your guests will love this fresh addition to the meal!
