Ingredients

1 pound sugar snap peas, trimmed (about 4 cups)

2 tablespoons reduced-fat mayonnaise

2 tablespoons low-fat plain yogurt or nonfat buttermilk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon or 1 teaspoon dried

1/4 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

Directions

Steam peas over 2 inches of boiling water, stirring once, until crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with paper towel. Refrigerate until chilled, about 20 minutes.

Whisk mayonnaise, yogurt (or buttermilk), tarragon, salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Add peas; toss well to coat. Serve chilled.

MAKE AHEAD TIP: Refrigerate peas and dressing separately for up to 1 day. Toss together just before serving.

Thanks- this recipe is perfect! I live in a condo, so I'm not lucky enough to grow my own peas, but I do grow tarragon, and I'll be going to the farmer's market for the rest! Great post!
