Food and Recipes Pasta Lemon Vinaigrette Pasta Salad with Field Peas 5.0 (2) 2 Reviews We’ve probably made a million pasta salads in our lives, but somehow we’re still always on the hunt for the next great one. This season, you can consider it found thanks to this recipe. This lemony pasta salad with field peas is so bright and refreshing, and it combines everything we love about a perfect pasta salad. The fresh herbs bring flavor, the lemon adds brightness, the honey lends sweetness, and the Dijon provides a much-needed kick. It’s a fantastic blend of flavors—you’ll love it. This recipe is also a great way to use up the fresh herbs hanging out in your fridge. We chose basil, chives, parsley, and dill for this one, but you could also use what you have on hand and adjust the amounts. (Anyone else always trying to use up a threatening-to-wilt bunch of parsley?) Try this pasta salad recipe, you’ll understand why we’re planning to make it all summer long.
