For dressing, combine all ingredients except oil in blender. With blender running, slowly add oil in steady stream. Blend until emulsified. Set aside.
Bring 1 quart water to boil in saucepan. Add snow peas and return to boil. Cook 1 or 2 minutes just until heated through and tender crisp. Put bean sprouts in colander. Pour snow peas and hot cooking water over sprouts to soften. Drain well and cool completely. Combine snow peas, bean sprouts, peaches and nuts in large bowl. Toss gently with dressing until well coated. Arrange on lettuce-lined platter or portion onto individual lettuce-lined salad plates.
