5 Minute Asian Snap Pea Salad Recipe
Description
The 5 Minute Asian Snap Pea Salad mixes raw vegetables—snap peas, red bell pepper slices, thin carrot coins, and scallions—which provide natural crunch and bright colors. The dressing blends peanut oil, rice vinegar, fish sauce, brown sugar, sriracha, and freshly minced ginger, balancing savory, sweet, tangy, and mildly spicy flavors that coat the vegetables evenly.
After tossing the salad with the dressing, optional sesame seeds are added for an extra nutty note and slight crunch. This salad requires no cooking; vegetables retain their crispness and freshness. It can be served immediately chilled or at room temperature, making it a convenient addition to meals, especially those with an Asian flavor profile.
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the salad will stay fresh for up to three days.
