My thoughts:

I thought you all might like one last quick recipe you can take to 4th of July  festivities this weekend. This is super simple to throw together and meets pretty much anyone's dietary needs as it is vegan, gluten-free and raw. Plus fairly high in fiber thanks to the sugar snap peas. It also transports well, making it the perfect potluck picnic side dish. I love using sugar snap peas because you don't have to shell them and the pods are not only edible by they are tasty and unlike similar snow peas, hold up really well in this type of salad.
