Sugar Snap Pea Salad
Sugar snap pea salad is a healthy and totally satisfying dish. This salad recipe has sweet sweet sugar snap peas and fresh ricotta, which adds creaminess and texture. Top it off with shredded rotisserie chicken and a home-made citrus tangy dressing, and you have the perfect dish. However, you can omit the chicken to make it vegetarian, or add salmon, which would be fantastic.

- Thinly slice the sugar snap peas in half. Add to a serving bowl and set aside.
- Take the rotisserie chicken and cut into strips. I only use the white meat for this recipe. Set the dark meat aside for another time.
- Add the rotisserie chicken, ricotta cheese and salt and pepper. Toss everything together until well combined. If you like red onion, then add as well at this time.
