Ingredients
  

2 cups snap peas, trimmed and halved

1 cup cucumbers, diced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Optional: Fresh dill sprigs for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Begin by rinsing the snap peas under cold running water to ensure they are clean. Trim off the ends of the snap peas and slice them in half lengthwise. Next, dice the cucumbers into bite-sized pieces, halve the cherry tomatoes, and finely chop the red onion. Place all of these fresh vegetables into a large mixing bowl for easy combining.

    Make the Dressing: In a separate mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt and mayonnaise for a creamy base. Add the freshly chopped dill, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Using a whisk, blend the ingredients together until the dressing is smooth and homogenous. Taste the dressing and season with salt and pepper as per your preference.

      Combine the Ingredients: Pour the dressing over the prepared snap pea mixture in your large bowl. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently toss the ingredients together, making sure that the snap peas and all the vegetables are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.

        Incorporate the Cheese (Optional): If you're adding feta cheese for an extra burst of flavor, sprinkle it over the top of the salad and carefully fold it into the mixture to avoid breaking the cheese too much.

          Chill and Meld Flavors: Cover the salad with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes. This chill time allows the flavors to meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste of the dish.

            Serve: Just before serving, give the salad a gentle stir to redistribute the dressing. If desired, garnish with fresh dill sprigs for an attractive presentation. Enjoy your refreshing Creamy Dill Snap Pea Salad as a perfect side dish or light meal!
