| The secret of this essential early summer salad is to layer the flavors rather than tossing the ingredients together. Little gem lettuce, which is a miniature Romaine-type, is my preferred lettuce to use, but any baby lettuce that is available in full-head form will work. See the FoodkieKitchen Spring Pea Salad on YouTube for a demonstration. ~Joanna |
