I have some pesto frozen from last year and was trying to think of something to make with it before the basil comes on again. This is going to my friend’s Memorial Day picnic!!!

I also love the taste of fresh peas over the preserved ones. On another note, I also like the recipe; I’ll be trying it out this weekend.

Trader Joe’s has bags of fresh peas right now and I was tempted but thought a side of peas was so-so. This is perfect! I’ll also have to play with your dressing recipe on the side and see if I can get it to resemble the creamy pesto spread that Whole Foods uses in their sandwiches (I “treat” myself to one every few months). Tried straight pesto but it overwhelmed the sandwich. WF’s version doesn’t. Thanks for this recipe! And great photos BTW! 🙂

Can’t find fresh English peas, sub aspargus cut pea size and throw into your salad. In the south when you as for peas if you don’t specify English or Sugar Snap you get what we Northerners used to call beans.

I’m really hungry now. That pasta salad is definitely a woot.

This looks delicious. I am going to hunt down some fresh peas this weekend, and this will be our Sunday night supper. Thanks ever so much!
