Author Notes: To me this salad epitomizes summer with fresh, local in-season ingredients and has become one of my favourites. Or rather, the dressing has become my favourite go-to dressing for many salads! The flavours of this salad pair nicely with a Gewurztraminer Reisling. —Jane Klementti

Salad Ingredients:

2 cups Sweet Peas, shelled and pods discarded
