Buttery Lemon Mint Sugar Snap PeasSugar snap peas and leeks….a sure sign that spring has arrived! Buttery Lemon Mint Sugar Snap Peas, the ideal combination of springtime flavors, will brighten up any holiday or spring menu. There’s nothing quite like the crisp crunch of a springtime sugar snap peas and it’s fresh sweet flavor. Packed with Vitamins C and K, manganese and iron, sugar snap peas are a great nutrition source too! Look for crisp firm pods (be sure to remove their “strings” before using) or indulge a bit and purchase packaged already stringless sugar snap peas*, also in your produce section. 

Leeks

Buttery Lemon Mint Sugar Snap Peas combines butter and white wine with lemon and fresh mint for an easy vegetable recipe bursting with springtime flavors! sugar snap peas | green beans | mint | lemon | side dish | easy recipe | holiday | entertaining | #swirlsofflavorIn the same family as garlic and onions, leeks have a mild sweet flavor adding just a subtle hint of  a delicate sweet onion. Also a good source of Vitamin C along with Vitamins A, K and E, anti-oxidants and minerals, leeks are great sautéed or eaten raw in your salad. Sauté sugar snap peas and leeks in butter with a little white wine, topped off with fresh mint and lemon and your guests will be so thankful that spring has arrived with Buttery Lemon Mint Sugar Snap Peas! 

Golden Potatoes Au Gratin, Lemon Roasted Springtime Asparagus and Gingered Cinnamon Honey Glazed Carrots will also bring springtime to your holiday table. Coconut Lemon Layer Cakewill finish any day on a sweet note!
