Sugar Snap Pea and Cabbage Slaw

Sugar snap peas add a fresh crispness to this slaw; buttermilk dressing keeps it tangy and light and contrasts nicely with the other dishes on this menu. And it's so easy to make. We bet that, after a taste, you'll never rely on that mayonnaisey deli slaw again.

Cooks' note:

Slaw can be chilled, covered, up to 1 day.
