Sugar peas with homemade cheese, radishes and nuts

4 servings

45 minutes

This salad is a delicate combination of freshness and creamy texture born from the traditions of Italian cuisine. Sugar snap peas add juiciness and a sweet flavor to the dish, while their bright green hue refreshes the eye. Homemade cheese (or ricotta) adds softness, creating a harmony of flavors. Crunchy walnuts soaked in grape oil provide richness, while radishes add a spicy sharpness. Watercress and mint offer aromatic lightness, and balsamic vinegar finishes the composition with a subtle tanginess. The dish is perfect as an exquisite appetizer or light summer lunch and pairs wonderfully with white wine. Each ingredient complements one another, creating a balance between freshness, creamy texture, and nutty crunch. Inspiration from sunny Italy is on your table!
