Warm Snow Pea "Salad"

Recipe number 25! This week we are continuing on with our relatively healthy theme. If you’re wondering, which I’m sure that most of you aren’t, the food that my husband and I are eating in combination with simple in-home workouts really are helping in our effort to lose some weight.

Anyway, this recipe is obviously a side dish. The “salad” is healthy, delicious, and simple to make. This particular recipe serves two, but it can easily be doubled.

What You’ll Need…

20 Snow Peas [10 per person.] (Whole with both tips cut off.)

¼ Medium-Large Onion (Chopped)

½ Bell Pepper (Diced)

1 Handful Mushrooms (Chopped)

1 ½ Tablespoon Olive Oil

Salt (To taste)

Pepper (To taste)

Garlic Powder (To taste)

As always, start out by chopping your vegetables. Cut the ends off of the snow peas, dice the pepper, and chop the mushrooms and onion.

Pour about a tablespoon of olive oil into a medium skillet and let it heat for about 30 seconds. Once the oil has heated add the onions. Allow the onions to sauté over medium heat for about three minutes.

Next, add the peppers and allow them to sauté for an additional two minutes.

Now, add the snow peas and the remaining half tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the peas to sauté until they start to brown on the bottoms. This should take two-to-three minutes. You should be stirring the vegetables every couple of minutes.

Lastly, add the mushrooms and allow them to sauté until cooked. At this point the dish is done. Add spices to taste.

Enjoy!
