INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 teaspoons white miso

  • 1 small garlic clove, grated or minced

  • 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced (about 1 tablespoon of zest and 2 tablespoons of juice)

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 pound snap peas, trimmed and cut as desired (I like them halved crosswise for easier mixing and eating)

  • 1 (15-oz.) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 2 scallions, light green and white parts only, sliced

  • 1/4 cup grated pecorino, plus more for garnish

  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon white or black sesame seeds

  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves and tender stems, roughly chopped or torn

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In the bottom of a medium serving bowl, whisk the miso and garlic with the lemon zest, juice, and olive oil until smooth and the miso dissolves. Add the snap peas, chickpeas, scallions and grated pecorino, tossing to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper, as needed. Top with the sesame seeds, mint, and more pecorino and serve.
