Thinly cut sugar snap peas combined with microgreens and tossed with grapefruit dressing makes this salad very light yet surprisingly filling. 

About the recipe

This is a crunchy, juicy, and refreshing salad that pairs really well with chilled white wine such as a Sauvignon blanc, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio & Pinot Gris.

As for the dense microgreens I buy them from the Farmer’s Market or you can also fined them at specialty grocery stores.  Alternatively substitute with any firm greens such as arugula, mache, or baby kale. Here is the recipe.
