Ingredients
  1. ½ cup raw pistachios
  2. 1 1/2 cups Spring Veggies - Asparagus, Spinach, Cauliflower -- whatever you've got in your fridge! -- cut into bite size pieces
  3. 8 ounces sugar snap peas
  4. Kosher salt
  5. ½ cup coarsely chopped fresh tender herbs (such as parsley, chives, basil, tarragon, and dill)
  6. ⅓ cup olive oil
  7. 2 Tbsp white wine vinegar
  8. 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  9. Freshly ground black pepper
  10. 1-2 handfuls of Arugula or lettuce
  11. 1 cup cooked quinoa or other grain
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°.
  2. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes.
  3. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
  4. Meanwhile, cook sugar snap peas in a pot of boiling salted water until no longer raw but still very crunchy, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a bowl of ice water and let sit until cold, about 3 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and thinly slice into bite-size pieces.
  5. Blend herbs, oil, vinegar, mustard, and 2 Tbsp toasted pistachios in a blender, adding water by the tablespoonful if dressing is too thick, until smooth and the consistency of heavy cream. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Toss snap peas, other veggies, arugula / lettuce, your grains, and remaining toasted pistachios in a bowl to combine. Drizzle salad with dressing and toss again to nicely coat everything; season with salt and pepper.
