Sugar snap peas are really a great versatile vegetable. A quick blanch in heavily salted water and then shocked in plenty of ice water is ideal in bringing out the crispness of the snap peas.

The crunch with the acidity and Parmesan cheese really brings all parts of the salad together. It's a really light and flavorful summer salad.
