Sugar Snap Peas And Cucumber

Sugar Snap Pea and Cucumber recipe

Sugar snap peas and cucumber is a great light recipe for your table. A light and healthy choice for your family. Sugar snap peas and cucumber comes together quickly for your busy nights and dish will add a splash of color to your table.

To peel or not to peel… In this recipe I chose to peel some of the cucumber. You can peel the entire cucumber or some of the cucumber as I did here in this recipe example. If you’re in a hurry…skip the peeling altogether, no problem.

Vinegar: Here is where you can alter things a little bit. I like a seasoned rice vinegar. The rice vinegar will keep this a milder flavor profile over lets say an apple cider vinegar. In this recipe I use Nakano Rice Vinegar Seasoned mild and sweet. By all means choose a vinegar that you enjoy.

Mint: Provides a wonderful flavor which complements the mild vinegar.
