Delicious, fresh, flavorful!!! I love the slight crunch of the snow peas- I'm sure the radishes would have added even more but we didn't have any, and certainly didn't miss them. Same goes for the chives- we used scallion tops instead. The mint adds a lovely middle-eastern-esqe flair. Soooo delish. I must say that this dish would be so lovely with fish or chicken. We had it with steak and salad and enjoyed it thoroughly, nevertheless. Thanks for an awesome recipe!

I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
