This light, crunchy salad makes an excellent cookout side.

In the summer, chef Dan Kluger of Loring Place in New York City takes advantage of crunchy, vitamin C-rich sugar snap peas. "The flavor combination of pecorino and cracked pepper is a familiar one, but tossing it with blanched and grilled sugar snap peas, just warm enough so that the cheese begins to soften upon contact, is a really fun way to give the pairing a seasonal, vegetal twist," says Kluger.
