Recipe: Peas salad with mint

Salads with aromatic herbs
August 29, 2013


SpearmintThis year I'm growing spearmint: it has the fresh aroma characteristic of all varieties of mint, delicate yet persistent, with no wild aftertaste.


I used spearmint and basil for this salad, that can be served as a sidedish but can be considered a full meal served with bread or breadsticks.
