Notes
Do not cook the peas before making the salad. The creamy dressing helps to tenderize the vegetables as the salad sits and the dressing soaks into the ingredients.
If starting with frozen peas, make sure that they're thawed, drained, and patted dry before adding them to the salad.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. You can add more salt and pepper, make it a little spicy with some cayenne pepper, or include extra herbs such as parsley, chives, thyme, or oregano.
