2 Tbsps. sliced green onions (scallions)
1/2 cup prepared Caesar dressing (oil and vinegar type)
4 ozs. sliced deli ham, cut in thin strips (about 1 cup)
2 cups shredded lettuce

In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 2 cups salted water to a boil; add snow peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 30 seconds; drain and rinse under cold water. In a large bowl, combine snow peas, radishes, green onions and Caesar dressing; stir gently.

To serve: Place lettuce on 4 salad plates, dividing evenly. Spoon snow pea mixture onto lettuce; arrange ham strips on top. If desired, garnish with chopped hard-cooked egg.
Makes 4 servings.
