Ingredients
  

2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 small cucumber, diced

½ red bell pepper, diced

¼ red onion, thinly sliced

¼ cup fresh mint leaves, chopped

¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled (optional)

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

1 tablespoon honey

Salt and pepper to taste

¼ cup toasted sunflower seeds or slivered almonds (for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by rinsing the sugar snap peas under cold water. Trim the ends and cut them in half. Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and chop the red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the red onion and set everything aside in a large mixing bowl.

    Make the Vinaigrette: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.

      Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped mint leaves to the bowl with the vegetables. Pour the citrus vinaigrette over the salad and gently toss everything together until the sugar snap peas and other vegetables are well-coated.

        Serve and Garnish: If using feta cheese, sprinkle it on top of the salad. For an extra crunch, add the toasted sunflower seeds or slivered almonds.

          Chill (Optional): If desired, let the salad sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.

            Enjoy! Serve this refreshing salad as a side dish or as a light main course, perfect for warm weather gatherings!
