Charred Sugar Snap Peas with Burrata and Mint

I saw this recipe last year in a magazine and noticed it was very similar to a sugar snap pea recipe I posted here a few years ago.    I love sugar snap peas and I love burrata even more so it was a match made in heaven!  The addition of burrata and a lemon vinaigrette sounded delightful.  Since I’ve been on a kick eating a lot of blistered shishito peppers lately, this recipe for charred snap peas was a must try for me.

Let me just say one thing about this recipe… I LOVED IT…and so did my girlfriends who tasted this with me (I guess that’s more than one thing!). I’ve made it several times and decided to photograph it and share with you this time around because it’s so good!charred sugar snap peas with burrata and mint

Serve charred sugar snap peas with burrata and mint alone with some crusty bread as a main meal (would be great on a bed of quinoa or mixed greens) or as a side dish to accompany your summer BBQ.  It’s a crowd pleaser!

Notes

*I like to use a little lemon zest in my dressing as well.

You probably won’t need all the vinaigrette… just use an amount as you would on your salad. I like just a light drizzle, not too much.
