    2. Next, wash the snow and sugar snap peas. Cut them on the bias into 3 to 4 pieces per pea.
    3. Chop the fresh mint leaves. Combine the potatoes, peas, chopped mint, and chopped green onions in a bowl. Add dijon mustard, yellow mustard seed, malt vinegar, and pecan oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the flavors to meld by chilling the salad for about an hour before serving. Enjoy!
