HERBY PEA SALAD
We love spring vegetables. One Mother's Day I came up with this flavorful green salad that everyone enjoyed. You could increase the dressing and mix in some cooked small pasta, like acini de pepe, to make it a more robust salad. —Ann Sheehy, Lawrence, Massachusetts

[email protected]I'm allergic to nuts, so I omitted the walnuts from the recipe. The salad was still delicious without them.

[email protected]The recipe didn't specify what type of peas to use. I used frozen peas and they worked just fine.

[email protected]I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy for my taste. I would recommend using less vinegar or adding a bit of honey to balance out the flavors.
