It was a busy week both at work and at home. So, eating healthy was not my top priority. The veggies in my fridge started to wilt a bit and all I could do was wait for the weekend to find some recipes to use them all up. But, I was able to whip up this one super easy Snap Pea and Cucumber Salad that made all the craziness totally worth while.

Crunchy snap peas and cucumber, tossed in a light mint and lemon vinaigrette. It’s fresh, quick and filled with lots of those abundant farmers market veggies.
