Plump, tart blackberries offset the inflammatory effects of the sugar while chopped Marcona almonds give the topping a great little crunch.

As soon as sugar snaps show up at the farmers’ market, I’m instantly happy. Sweet and crisp, this salad is all about the sugar snaps, with a pinch of Aleppo pepper for heat, some fresh ricotta cheese for richness and texture, and edible flowers for color. It comes together easily, looks gorgeous and is oh-so-easy to love. - Celebrity Chef, Seamus Mullen
