Nutrition Notes
Are Peas Good for You?
Both snow peas and snap peas are lower in carbs than the typical shelled green peas, which are also an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber. Snow peas and snap peas have less protein and fiber than green peas but they’ve got small amounts of several nutrients, including vitamin C, per theUSDA. Snow and snap peas contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin which support healthy vision. Since this recipe includes green peas, as well as snow or snap peas, you get the best of both worlds.
Are Strawberries Healthy?
Like all berries,strawberries are loaded with nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, folate and potassium. Together with the antioxidants in strawberries, they may help reduce inflammation and chronic disease, boost brain health, and manage blood sugar.
Tips from the Test Kitchen
Can I Double This Recipe?
Absolutely. This recipe serves four, but if you plan to bring it to a potluck or a dinner party with more than four people or just want to be sure you have enough for second helpings, double it. If you happen to have leftovers, you can store the salad in an airtight container. The sooner you consume it, the better, but it can be kept in the refrigerator for a day or two.
What Should I Serve with Spring Pea Salad?
We would suggest anything off the barbecue grill, such as ribs, steak, chicken, fish or shrimp. It would go especially well with pasta and ravioli, as well as aloaded baked potato.
Frequently Asked Questions
Snow Peas vs. Snap Peas vs. Shelled Peas: What’s the Difference?
Snow peas are nestled in a super flat pod. Typically, the pod and peas are eaten together. They’re sweet, make a crisp, crunchy treat when raw and are favored for stir-fries. Sugar snap peas come in a puffy edible pod that holds a row of large peas. They’re a cross between a snow pea and a garden pea, closely resembling the garden pea. You can enjoy snacking on the pod with peas intact—the whole thing is sweet and tasty. If you’re cooking snow peas or snap peas, it’s always best to trim off the ends of the pods and remove any strings (if there are any) before cooking. Shelled peas (also named garden peas or English peas) are not as sweet and come in hard, puffy, inedible pods. You have to remove or shell the peas. These are the same kind of peas you get frozen at the supermarket.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
