Meet Monsieur pea- you two look great together!<\/p>\n<p>My recipe for &#8216;Spring Radish &amp; Pea Salad&#8217; was inspired by vibrant color and the delicious combination of spicy and sweet. Peppery radishes and sweet peas are a celebration of spring when plated together. Cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche binds the salad and balances the crisp vegetables with creamy tanginess. Lemon zest adds color and lemony aroma without acidity. Finish the salad with a sprinkling of dill, the happy go lucky spring herb. Though the recipe below serves 2 people generously, you can easily increase the ingredients to serve more people. The cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche dressing is meant to lightly coat the vegetables, so don&#8217;t overdo it when increasing the recipe quantities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Spring Radish &amp; Pea Salad<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1 small shallot<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">a splash of white wine vinegar<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1\/4 cup cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">juice of 1\/2 lemon<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">1 bunch radishes, tops removed, each radish cut into 4 pieces<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2 cups peas, blanched in boiling water and cooled<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">zest of 1 lemon<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">dill<\/p>\n<p>Finely mince the shallot and marinate it in white wine vinegar for a moment while you prepare the other ingredients. This is done to mellow any acrid flavors. In a small bowl, stir together the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche and lemon juice. Remove the shallots from the vinegar and combine with the peas and radishes in a medium bowl. Pour the cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche mixture over the vegetables and gently stir to distribute it evenly. Grate the zest of lemon over the salad. Season with salt and pepper and give it a mix. Once the salad is seasoned to your liking, sprinkle a handful of dill over the top.<\/p>\n<p>This is an easygoing salad, delicious slightly chilled or at room temperature. However, the salad is best enjoyed shortly after you prepare it. I hope you enjoy this cheerful dish!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Bonjour radish!
