How to cook deliciously - Sugar Snap Pea Salad

1 . Stage

Combine vegetables and fruit: In a large bowl, add the sugar snap peas, cucumber, bell pepper, mandarin oranges, and red onion. Set it aside, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate it if not serving immediately.

2 . Stage

Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, ginger, and black pepper. Slowly drizzle in the sesame oil and peanut oil, whisking constantly until fully combined. 

3 . Stage

Assemble and serve: Drizzle about three quarters of the dressing over the salad and toss with a large spoon to combine. Garnish with the sesame seeds. Serve the remaining dressing on the side. This salad tastes even better after the vegetables get a chance to soak up the dressing a bit, about 30 minutes to 1 hour, in the fridge.
