Exquisite Spring Pea Salad
Spring in a bowl, assembled in fifteen minutes: sweet green peas dressed with olive oil, lemon zest, capers, shallot and torn mint, finished with crumbles of goat cheese that soften into the dressing. The capers keep it savory, the mint keeps it fresh, and it sits happily at room temperature — picnic math at its best. Four servings.
