Snip the ends off of the sugar snap peas using kitchen shears or a sharp knife. You can also de-string them if you like by snapping off the stem end and pulling the string down the side. Quickly blanch the peas in boiling water, just until the color pops, . Remove from the water and dry on paper towels. Store in a bowl in the refrigerator for up to one day.

Juice 2 of the limes to get 1/4 cup of juice. Peel the remaining limes down to the flesh and remove the flesh from the membrane. Dice the flesh and put it in a small bowl. Add the juice, honey, basil, olive oil, and salt. Whisk the mixture together and set aside.
