  • 2 cups of sugar snap peas
  • 1 large watermelon radish
Vinaigrette
  • Juice of 1 4-6 inch knob of fresh ginger
  • 6 ounces of organic soft tofu
  • 2 tablespoons of white miso paste
  • 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
  • 4 tablespoons of unseasoned rice vinegar or white wine vinegar
  • ½ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • Juice from 1 large fresh lime
  • ¼ teaspoon of salt
  • Fresh ground black pepper

  1. Trim sugar snap peas. Pull off strings.
  2. Place a steamer basket in a saucepan and add water to come 1 inch up side. Bring to a boil.

  2. In a food processor, add the ginger juice and all the vinaigrette ingredients except for the mint. Process until smooth. Add the fresh mint and give it a couple of pulses. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  3. Arrange the lettuce leaves on four plates. Top with ½ cup of sugar snap peas and ¼ cup of english peas. Top with radishes or any vegetable you desire. Drizzle with dressing. Garnish with some more fresh chopped mint.
