Castelvetrano and Snap Pea Salad

This is the freshest and most favorite salad of the season. My friend was drinking the citrus dressing straight from the empty bowl. Fresh mint and castelvetrano olives can do no wrong in my book.

I ate this all summer long on repeat. Meal prep or party side this one was on point.

This was inspired by my other recipe on this site, and pairs well with this amazing sidedish recipe. Contextual, in-content links are far more valuable than a group listed at the bottom of the post.

Notes

I love this salad so much. I made it on a wim because this summer I was dying for snap peas every chance I got.  You know I love a sharp citrus dressing and this is just that. It was the favorite of the party and I did, in fact, spot my friend drinking the. dressing from the empty bowl. That says it all to me.
