PEA AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Scoop out meat from each avocado half, and cube. Reserve the peels. Place cubes in a bowl. Sprinkle cubes and inside of peels with lemon juice.
• In the bowl with avocado, gently mix the shrimp, peas, olives, onion, and celery. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Fold in enough mayonnaise to evenly moisten all ingredients. Spoon the mixture into the reserved peels, and serve within 1 hour.

GRILLED AVOCADO AND CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Clean and oil the grates.
• Halve the avocado and remove the pit but leave the skin on. Grill cut-side down until grill marks form, 3 to 5 minutes. Flip and grill 2 more minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Once cool enough to handle, peel and chop into 1/2-inch cubes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, shred the chicken into large pieces, using mainly the breast meat. Place in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Make the dressing: Combine the oil, mustard, honey and lemon juice in a small bowl or jar and whisk together. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the spring greens mix among 4 bowls or plates. Crumble the feta over the top, sprinkle with the basil, then top with the chicken and grilled avocado. Drizzle with the dressing and serve.

CHICKEN, SNAP PEA & AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• Mix dressing and lime juice. Pour 1/4 cup over chicken in shallow dish; turn to evenly coat both sides of each breast. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.
• Meanwhile, place peas in large microwaveable bowl. Add water; cover with waxed paper. Microwave on HIGH 10 min. or until peas are crisp-tender; drain. Cool completely.
• Heat grill to medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Grill chicken 6 to 8 min. on each side or until done (165ºF). Remove from grill; cut into strips.

FRIED CHICKEN SALAD WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND GREEN-GODDESS RANCH

Steps:

• Whisk together yogurt and mayonnaise. In another bowl, toss chicken with 1/2 cup yogurt mixture; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 15 minutes (or refrigerate, covered, up to 2 hours).
• Whisk garlic, lime zest and juice, mustard, herbs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and oil into remaining 1/2 cup yogurt mixture (it should have a pourable consistency; if too thick, whisk in water, 1 teaspoon at a time). Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Stir together panko and cheese in a pie dish or other wide, shallow vessel to combine. Dredge a few chicken pieces at a time in mixture to coat; pat to adhere.
• Add enough oil to a medium nonstick skillet to reach 1/4 inch up sides. Heat over medium-high until a panko crumb sizzles immediately when tossed in.
• Working in batches, add chicken to oil and cook, flipping halfway, until golden brown all over and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes a batch. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt. Let cool slightly.
• Toss lettuce, fennel, and snap peas with a drizzle of oil. Divide among plates and top with fried chicken, chile, and avocado. Serve, with dressing alongside.

SESAME SNAP PEA-CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, add the chicken and enough cold water to cover it by 1 inch. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the water begins to boil, lower heat immediately to a gentle simmer, cover partially with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. (Monitor that the bubbles never get too big; lower heat if so.) Turn off the heat, cover completely with lid, and leave on the stovetop for another 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare the sugar snap peas: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When it begins to boil, set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Drop sugar snap peas into boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, 30 to 45 seconds. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the sugar snap peas to the ice water to cool completely. Drain well and pat dry on a clean dish towel in a single layer.
• Transfer sugar snap peas to a cutting board and trim the tips, if needed, then slice lengthwise into thirds on a slight diagonal. Transfer to a large bowl or lidded container, and refrigerate.
• Prepare the dressing: In a mortar and pestle, coarsely grind the sesame seeds, leaving some whole. In a small bowl, combine ground sesame seeds, mayonnaise, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir until smooth.
• Set a bowl of ice water next to the stovetop. Transfer the chicken to the ice water to cool completely. When chicken is cool enough to handle, pat dry, then finely shred the meat using your fingers. The shreds should be similar in size to the cut sugar snap peas.
• Add the shredded chicken and all of the dressing to the chilled snap peas; toss gently until coated. Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day.

ASPARAGUS, SNAP PEA AND AVOCADO SALAD

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook asparagus until bright green, about 2 minutes. Add snap peas; cook 30 seconds. With a slotted spoon or a small sieve, scoop out vegetables; transfer to a bowl.
• Return water to a boil; add pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Drain; reserving 1 cup pasta water; set pasta aside in colander.
• In pasta pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add asparagus, snap peas and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing until vegetables are crisp-tender; about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons butter, cooked pasta, avocado, herbs, cheese, and reserved pasta water. Toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve topped with additional cheese; if desired.
