SPRING PEA SALAD

Spring Pea Salad image

This colorful cooked spring pea salad uses some of the best food spring has to offer. For the prettiest salad, use ruby or rainbow chard. If you can't find chard at your market, use spinach or kale instead, just don't include their stems. Make this year-round by substituting frozen peas and lima beans.
