Yummy McYummerton

I made this for dinner last night and for being really easy and relatively healthy (I say relatively because I did saute the sugar snap peas in some butter for a couple of minutes just to soften them up...) it was SO good!! TRY IT!!!! YOU'LL LIKE IT!!!

I also added some red pepper flakes to the dressing to spice it up.
