Why We Love This Recipe
Slicing snap pea pods brings out a different personality in the vegetable than leaving them whole. In general, serve salads during hot weather, when their cooler temperatures can help balance Pitta. Chilled ingredients extinguish the digestive fire, agni; room temperature is a wiser choice.
