Ingredients

  • 4 ounces fresh goat cheese
  • 3 tablespoons buttermilk
  • Kosher salt and cracked black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil + more for serving
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • ½ teaspoon honey or granulated sugar
  • 6 –8 ounces sugar snap peas, thinly sliced
  • 6 –8 ounces snow peas, strings removed and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • ½ cup thinly sliced shallot
  • ⅓ cup fresh mint, roughly chopped
  • 1 lemon, zested

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together goat cheese, buttermilk, and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper until light and airy (this will take some muscle!). 
  • In a large bowl whisk together oil, vinegar, Dijon and honey; season with salt and pepper. Add snap peas, snow peas, thawed green peas, shallot, and mint; toss to combine.
  • Spread goat cheese mixture over a large plate or platter. Pile pea mixture over top and finish with a few turns of cracked pepper, minced fresh lemon zest and a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes

Snow and Snap Peas: I offer a range in weight because the size of bags that snow and snap peas come in can range from 6 to 8 ounces. Either size works for both types of peas. If you can't find snow peas substitute with snap peas, and vice versa.
