Servings: persons

1 1/2 pounds rainbow carrots (preferably a mix of long and short ones)
4 ounces pea shoots*
2 cups sugar snap peas
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup Meyer lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, minced
About 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup crumbled sheep's- or goat's-milk feta cheese
3/4 cup mint leaves, cut into slivers
3 cups shredded cooked chicken

1
Scrub carrots gently (so you don't lose the bright outer color), using a brush under running water. With a mandoline or vegetable peeler, cut thin lengthwise ribbons to make 1 qt.; discard ends and tough cores.
2
Put dark and light carrot ribbons in separate bowls of ice water and soak about 15 minutes to crisp. Drain, roll in kitchen towels, and pat dry.
3
Discard tough or thick stems from pea shoots and tear sprigs into 4- to 5-in. pieces. Pull strings from straight sides of snap peas, then thinly slice peas lengthwise. In a large bowl, whisk oil, lemon juice, garlic, 1/2 tsp. salt, and the pepper.
4
Add carrots, pea shoots, snap peas, feta, mint, and chicken to bowl and toss gently. Season with more salt if you like.
