Ingredients

  • 2 cups snow peas (about 12 ounces), trimmed
  • 1 oranges
  • 1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tablespoon white-wine vinegar
  • 1/2 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 fennel bulb, peeled and cut into matchsticks (about 1 cup; see Tip)

Directions

  1. Bring 1 inch of water to a boil in a saucepan fitted with a steamer basket. Have a bowl of ice water by the stove. Steam snow peas until tender-crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the peas to the ice water. Drain.

  2. Cut peels and white pith from oranges. Working over a bowl, cut the segments from surrounding membranes. Squeeze the peels and membranes over the bowl to extract about 3 tablespoons juice before discarding them. Transfer the segments with a slotted spoon to a small bowl. Whisk oil, vinegar, shallot, sugar and salt into the juice. Return the segments to the bowl along with the snow peas and fennel; toss with the dressing.
