Notes
- Servings: This pea salad makes about 4 servings, with each serving being approximately ¾ cup (about 150g).
- Mint: If you don't like mint or can't find fresh mint, try another fresh herb like basil, thyme, or oregano. Also if your mint leaves are small, feel free to skip the chopping and just toss them into the salad.
- Nuts: Almonds or pine nuts add extra flavor and texture to the salt. If you can't have nuts, simply leave them off or swap them out with sunflower or pumpkin seeds (pepitas).
- Prep: This salad comes together fairly quickly if you prep the radishes, mint, and dressing while the peas thaw. Then it's just a matter of mixing everything together.
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
