    Set a pan of water on your stove over medium heat and give it some time to boil. Meanwhile, place the Sugarsnap peas on the cutting board and cut them into half. Add in the Sugarsnap peas once the water starts boiling and cook them for a few minutes until tender. Remove the pan from the heat and drain the Sugarsnap peas carefully. Now, refresh them by running under cold water. Place the boiled Sugarsnap peas in the salad bowl. Gently turn and fold to coat them well with the dressing.
