This salad takes advantage of one of summer’s sweetest greens — sugar snap peas. Crisp sugar snaps and crunchy, peppery radishes pair perfectly with creamy mild goat cheese in this ideal warm-weather supper starter. If your radishes come with fresh-looking green tops, coarsely chop a handful and add to the salad. It’s so versatile it makes a wonderful accompaniment to almost any kind of entrée but it’s especially tasty partnered with grilled chicken, fish, pork, or even lean lamb chops. For planned leftovers, double the recipe. This dish will hold-up well in the refrigerator for a few days—just keep the salad and cheese separate until you’re ready to serve.
