Recipe by /contributors/chris-morocco A bowl of ice water stops the blanched vegetables from cooking and ensures they stay tender-crisp. The salt in the ice water seasons the veggies, all the while chilling them even further.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 English hothouse cucumber, very thinly sliced
  • 4 small radishes, trimmed, very thinly sliced
  • 2 scallions, very thinly sliced
  • 1 pound mixed snap beans (such as green, wax, and/or Romano)
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 ounces sugar snap peas

Instructions

  1. Place cucumber, radishes, and scallions in a colander set inside a bowl of ice water. Press down on vegetables to submerge. Let soak, stirring occasionally, until very firm and crunchy, at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour. Drain and pat dry.
  2. Meanwhile, cook beans in a large pot of boiling generously salted water just until their color intensifies and they are barely softened, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, immediately transfer to a large bowl of salted ice water (use about 1 Tbsp. salt for every 2 quarts water).
  3. Return water in pot to a boil and repeat cooking process with sugar snap peas; add to bowl of ice water with beans. Let vegetables cool; drain and pat dry. Trim beans and remove strings from sugar snap peas. Slice into large pieces on a steep diagonal.
