From the Test Kitchen

We're using a creamy balsamic dressing to bring together a crisp, vibrant mix of spinach, cucumber, sweet nectarine, sautéed snap peas, and toasted nuts. It's all complete with a dusting of savory parmesan cheese.

1 Prepare the ingredients

Wash and dry the fresh produce. Roughly chop the onions. Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds. Halve and pit the nectarine; thinly slice crosswise.

Add the mayonnaise and mustard; season with salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.

In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved peas; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the walnuts and almonds. Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until lightly toasted. Turn off the heat.

3 Make the salad & serve your dish

In a large bowl, combine the spinach, chopped onions, sliced cucumber, sliced nectarine, cooked peas and nuts, and half the cheese; toss to combine. Serve the salad drizzled with the dressing. Garnish with the remaining cheese. Enjoy!
