In my crusade for salads<\/a> that don\u2019t use leafy greens, I present to you my latest obsession: snap pea salad. With the bright and beautiful summertime Chicago weather, I\u2019m spending a lot of time on the lakefront. For this, I bring whatever book I\u2019m reading that week (currently it\u2019s Real Americans<\/em> by Rachel Khong<\/a>), a sketchpad for mindless doodling, a water bottle, and an easy-to-pack snack or meal. What\u2019s better than securing a perfect spot by the water and basking for a few hours in the sunny heat? Nothing\u2014and for that, you have to be prepared!<\/p>\n

My rules for packable picnic-style<\/a> meals are simple. They must be made ahead (i.e., I don\u2019t have to assemble anything as I head out the door), they must taste just as good cold as they would at room temperature, and they must be satisfying. This snap pea salad checks all those boxes and more.<\/p>\n
