Real Simples Spring Pea Salad Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the mint, capers, shallot, zest, oil, salt, and pepper.
• Add the peas and goat cheese and toss gently.
• Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, mustard, olive oil, hazelnut oil, pepper, shallot and salt to taste in a small bowl. Adjust the seasonings. Set aside.
• Make the salad: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Season with salt until the water tastes slightly of salted broth. Prepare an ice bath.
• Blanch the English peas and snap peas separately, for about 10 seconds each. Shock in the ice water and drain on paper towels. Cut the snap peas into thirds.
• In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over low heat. Tear the Jamon Serrano slices into bite-sized pieces and add to the oil in the skillet. Cook until crispy on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
• Assemble the salad: Toss the English peas, snap peas, pea shoots and snow peas with the vinaigrette to taste. Plate the salad and top with the Manchego, toasted hazelnuts and crispy jamon.

Steps:

• Combine peas, onion, hard-cooked eggs, and mayonnaise in a large bowl. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Chill for one hour before serving.

Steps:

• In a pot over high heat, bring 2 cups of water to a boil before adding frozen peas. Stir and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes at the most.
• Remove from the heat and drain very well. To stop the cooking process, pour in cold water and swirl them around for a few seconds. Drain them and add more cold water, moving them around and draining them again - they need to be at room temperature.
• In a medium mixing bowl, add drained peas, carrots, red peppers, celery and radishes. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
• Add ranch dressing to the veggies and stir until everything is well coated.
• Add bacon and some fresh chopped dill. Enjoy immediately or chill until ready to serve.
