In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, white-wine vinegar, a pinch of kosher salt, and some freshly ground black pepper. Add the finely grated Pecorino cheese and whisk to blend.

Toss the prepared snow peas and toasted walnuts in the bowl with the dressing, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
4. Garnish and Serve
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Shave additional Pecorino cheese on top for garnish and serve immediately.
Select bright green pods that are crisp and free from blemishes for a satisfying crunch and vibrant taste.
Use high-quality, well-aged Pecorino Romano and grate it fresh for intense, nutty flavor and texture.
Blanch snow peas in salted boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then immerse in ice water to preserve color and texture.
Add a touch of lemon juice before serving to balance the rich flavors of the cheese and nuts.
Toast walnuts in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned to enhance flavor and add crunch.
