Expert Tips

When shopping for sugar snap peas, try to find the “stringless” variety, which will save you time, as the strings that run down the spine of the pea would need to be removed otherwise.
While sugar snap peas are often served cooked, they are sweet, crunchy and refreshing when served raw as they are in this unique, but delicious slaw.
