Ingredients

• 200 grams snow peas
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 medium carrot
• 2 stalks green onion
• 50 grams slivered almonds
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Bring a small pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water.

Step 2

Trim the ends off the snow peas and blanch them in the boiling water for 1 minute. Immediately transfer the peas to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the red bell pepper into strips, julienne the carrot, and finely chop the green onions. Place all vegetables in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Toast the slivered almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 6

Drizzle the dressing over the vegetables in the mixing bowl and toss to coat evenly.

Step 7

Sprinkle the toasted almonds and sesame seeds over the salad. Gently toss again to distribute the toppings.

Step 8

Serve immediately as a refreshing side dish or chill for 15 minutes for enhanced flavor infusion.
