Snow Pea Salad | A Healthy Living Recipe

Our Snow Pea Salad Recipe

Today at Happy Healthy Living we have a snow pea salad with peppers and mushrooms. This is a very easy healthy recipe that combines well with many different main dishes. This Salad is especially good with grilled chicken or fish. It is a combination of a few salads that I liked and has a bit of an Asian influence.

Snow peas have some great nutritional benefits. Snow peas are packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, potassium, dietary fiber, magnesium, folic acid, and small levels of healthy fats. They are a good source of folic acid which helps with DNA synthesis. Snow peas have antioxidants and are a good source of B-complex vitamins. They can help with weight loss, lower the risk of heart disease, boost immune function and help with proper digestion.
