I feel that snap peas are the quintessential spring/summer produce.  Light and refreshing, snap peas are perfect for adjusting to the warmer temperatures of summer.

I’ve mentioned before that I’m a snap pea fiend and eat them like popcorn.  However, I also end up with a rather large bag that needs more than snacking to polish it off.

I always feel like developing recipes for snap peas is awkward.  The two ways I think to serve snap peas are by themselves or in a giant stir-fry.  One side dish and one main meal that is probably already overloaded with veggies.  I wanted something that wouldn’t weigh me down and keeps the flavor snap peas.

This dish is more of a warm salad, completely perfect for lunch.  The lightness of the snap peas is perfectly paired with a refreshing taste of lemon and the tangy taste of goat cheese.

    I looove snap peas as a side dish but tend to be pretty boring in how I prepare them (why mess with a good thing?) however, this is definitely worth changing things up :)

    perfectly timed…I had to buy some fresh dill (I know–tragedy that I couldn’t have plucked it from the garden). Tomorrow I’m getting snap peas in my CSA box…and…drumroll please….I have half cup of chickpeas in my husband’s made up lunch for tomorrow which I am going to scoop out and save for this recipe tomorrow night!!!
