Blanch the peas: Blanching the peas helps to preserve their鮮豔 color and crisp texture.
Use a light dressing: A light dressing, such as a vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing, will allow the fresh flavors of the peas to shine through.
Add some crunch: To add some crunch to the salad, try adding some chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons.
Chill the salad before serving: Chilling the salad before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it more refreshing.
