Sugar Snap Pea Salad With Ginger Soy Dressing
"I love sugar snap peas and the crisp veggies in this salad. The sweetness of the ginger soy dressing adds a nice compliment. This is one of DH's favourite salads. Cook time is allowing for dressing to cool.
Found this in one of my favourite magazine's "Cooking light"."

One word: YUMMY! -
I loved this recipe. I also find this is a wonderful dressing to serve on top of cooked salmon fillets. Yum Yum & Yum. -
Heather, this was very tasty. I did omit the pepper flakes, because I can't handle the heat from them in anything. I also had to cut back a tiny bit on the garlic, as my husband was going to a meeting after dinner and I didn't want him to knock people over. LoL! Next time I'll use all of the amount called for. :) -
a great salad, and the dressing is amazing. a keeper recipe for sure! thank you!

I live in Ontario and work full time as a consultant in IT for a communication company in another province. I create test cases and scripts and initiate the testing for the software changes that the programmers make to the company’s various programs. I have the pleasure of working from my home and dialling into their network. I also sell Avon for fun.
I met my husband (Paul) on a blind date. We dated 3 years and have been married for 25 years. We have two children a son(age 20) and a DD(age 17). We have been blessed with the best two kids anyone could ask for.
DH is a commerical airline pilot and currently is a "Check Pilot" on the A320. He is away quite a bit, so when he comes home I try to make sure he has a decent meal. He eats out when on the road so he really enjoys a good home cooked meal when he arrives home, while the rest of us want to go and eat out.
I love to spend time in my garden, travel and try new recipes. DH and I love to travel or just spend time at a cottage in the summer. I have not been on a cruise but hope to within the next 2 years (maybe for our 25th wedding anniversary.)
We pretty much eat anything. DH especially loves seafood (more than I do.) while I prefer to eat chicken. We are so predicable when ordering our meal at a restaurant. Next, I think it would have to be Italian and then something spicy like Thai or Indian. My family loves Indian food but I have never had the courage to make it. Maybe I will someday.
I like to read true stories and criminal books. David Baldacci is one of my favourite authors.
My favorite restaurant is "Bin 23", "Einsteins Cafe," "Abberfolye Mill"
My brother sent me the link to Recipezaar and now I am hooked trying new recipes every day. I don't think I will buy another cook book.
