Snap Pea and Cucumber Salad

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the snap peas and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until tender but still crisp. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the peas from the boiling water to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain the snap peas and pat dry with paper towels. Combine the snap peas, cucumbers, spinach, tomatoes, and basil in a large bowl.

2. Whisk together the lemon zest and lemon juice in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
