Celery and Snap Pea Salad with Blue Cheese and Pomegranate

Picture
Recipe by Chadwick Boyd, Food and Lifestyle Expert, Josie’s Organics

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

  1/2 cup olive oil
  6 cloves garlic, grated
  zest from 1/2 lemon
  1 teaspoon salt
  1 1/2 cups Josie’s Organics celery,  including leaves, cut about 1/4 inch thick
  1 1/2 cups sugar snap peas, cut on the bias about 1/4 inch thick*
  sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste
  1 cup blue cheese, sliced very thinly**
  1/4 cup pomegranate seeds***

In a small pot, add olive oil and garlic and heat on medium-low. Cook 10 to15 minutes to infuse oil with the garlic. Take off heat and stir in lemon zest and salt.

In a large bowl, add celery and peas, reserving celery leaves. Pour over warm olive oil and mix well. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving platter or shallow dish. Layer on cheese slices and scatter pomegranate seeds and celery leaves on top. Serve.

* Use a bag of frozen peas if you don’t have fresh sugar snaps. The warm dressing thaws the peas.

** Prepackaged crumbled blue cheese works as an alternative to the blue cheese slices.

*** If you can’t find pomegranate seeds, toss in dried cranberries and a handful of sunflower or pumpkin seeds for sweet crunch.
