This vibrant snap pea salad with coconut gremolata is a celebration of fresh, crisp textures and bright, aromatic flavours. A refreshing dairy-free side dish, it pairs the natural sweetness of sugar snap peas and tender pea shoots with a zingy lime dressing and savoury fish sauce. The highlight is the unique gremolata topping, which combines golden toasted coconut flakes with crispy fried shallots and cooling mint for an unexpected tropical twist.

Ideal for a light lunch or as a sophisticated accompaniment to grilled seafood or poultry, this salad is both healthy and incredibly simple to assemble. By using the infused oil from the fried shallots in the dressing, you ensure a deep, savoury base that perfectly balances the citrus notes.
