Fresh Pea Salad
4 servings
25 minutes
Fresh pea salad is a light and exquisite dish of French cuisine, combining the freshness of greens and sweet notes of dates. Historically, pea dishes were popular in Europe due to their delicate flavor and nutritional value. In this recipe, peas harmoniously blend with mint for a refreshing aroma, while the lemon and date dressing adds sweet-sour tones. Pumpkin seeds provide a pleasant crunch, and lettuce leaves create a tender base. This is an ideal dish for a spring or summer dinner, rich in vitamins and the taste of nature. It can serve as a standalone dish or as a side to light fish and meat dishes.
