We were excited to find fresh peas at Pepper Place farmers market this weekend but when we got home with them we were unsure what to do with them. When I searched pea salad on Pinterest all that really came up was peas covered in mayonnaise and that's not what I was looking for so we just put this together with what we had on hand.
For this salad we used:
- fresh peas
- spicy lettuce mix
- radishes
- juice of one lemon
- fresh mint
- fresh basil
- olive oil
- salt and peppper
We blanched the peas by cooking in boiling water for just one minute and then rinsed in cold water. The dressing for the salad was simply a little olive oil, lemon juice, chopped mint and basil from the garden, and a dash of salt and pepper.
