Snap Pea Salad with Burrata Michael Graydon & Nikole Herriott

Bloomfield loves making this salad with black mint, which you'll find in spring and summer at farmers' markets.

Ingredients

Makes 4 servings

8 ounces sugar snap peas, trimmed, strings removed
4 cups arugula, thick stems trimmed
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves plus more for serving
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves plus more for serving
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons (or more) fresh lemon juice
Flaky sea salt (such as Maldon)
1 pound burrata or fresh buffalo mozzarella
  1. Step 1

    Cut pea pods in half lengthwise, leaving some peas on each side of pods. Combine peas, arugula, 1/4 cup basil, and 1/4 cup mint in a large bowl. Add oil and 2 tablespoons lemon juice and toss to coat. Season salad with salt and more lemon juice, if desired.

    Step 2

    Tear open balls of burrata (if using buffalo mozzarella, slice 1/2" thick) and arrange on a platter. Top with salad and more basil and mint.

  • Great salad. Made just as written, except that I added some frozen peas, blanching the snap peas for 2 minutes and adding the frozen peas for the second minute, and then plunged them in ice water. I would say that it easily serves 6. I made it as a salad course in a dinner for 3, and there was at least half of it left, even though everyone loved it and had a large portion. Will definitely make again.

  • This was a hit. The lemon and mint give this salad a fresh, clean taste. I took the liberty of adding asparagus and thinly sliced shallots, but this wasn't necessary for a great salad. I also blanched and shocked in ice water the snap peas and asparagus which turned them bright green.

  • Wow, this was really great. And so simple to make. The fresh flavors of lemon and greens really plays well off the creamy burrata. so so so good for a spring menu.

  • Amazing, fresh side salad. It sounds crazy to say this, but it's just as good without the burrata (which I love).

  • I thought this was delicious and incredibly simple to make. I served it with a simple roasted salmon and some crusty bread. Sadly I don't think my guests were really into the burrata and seemed to eat around it. But I loved it and plan on taking it for lunch tomorrow.

  • Absolutely delicious - fresh and light. Served as first course at a dinner party, and everyone ate it up. I did not change a thing - but did use the burrata which is so much better than regular fresh mozarella

  • How can something so simple be so fantastic? Have made this at least 4 times and it has been a huge hit. Honestly, I had guests arguing over the last scraps on the plate! Make it as directed--no tweaks needed!!

  • Amazing how such simple ingredients can be so incredibly good. Made it as directed, with no substitutions and it was so good we almost wanted to lick the plates. Don't skip the mint and basil.. They add such depth. This is now on my permanent list of favorites!

  • 我爱一切关于这个沙拉——很容易autiful and delicious! It's rare that I use any recipe exactly as it's written, and even rarer that I remake again as is...but I am serving it tonight! For lunch, it was perfect on its own served with a loaf of crusty bread and fruit. Tonight, it's going with salmon, and tomorrow - who knows?! Finally, a perfect salad!
