What’s more wonderful than spending a warm, relaxing spring evening around the table with good friends? Or enjoying these little Individual Pea Layered Salad in a Jar? You’re going to love this recipe. Tasty! Your guests will love it, too, I promise!
Springtime is dicey, living in Oregon, because you never know if you’re going to get the April showers that bring the May flowers.
Or, hot sunny days, which we’ve had this past week. It’s been glorious!
With the fresh lettuce from our garden, we’ve been going out to the beds with a knife and chopping off a whole head for salads and recipes. Yum!
Today’s recipe has a touch of class, and if you have the time to make these individual servings up ahead of time, you can just pull them out of the fridge right before you’re ready to serve them, or take with you on a picnic!
7 ways to enjoy:
1. Make small portions in half-pint jars.
2. Make larger portions in pint jars.
3. Serve as an appetizer.
4. Serve as a salad entree.
5. Serve as a lunch entree.
6. Eat out by the pool, dipping your feet in the water.
7. Enjoy a jar with someone you love!
I don’t know if you’ve been buying fresh spring peas, but every time I go to Trader Joes, I pick up a pack or two!
