The Runcible Spoon

Listen, sometimes you want a pickle, sometimes you want chocolate. Tonight I wanted peas. So sue me.

They actually inspired a really good salad, so I thought I'd share it with you.

I'm hooked on this salad mix from Safeway that has fresh herbs. Every once in a while you get a surprise bite of cilantro or dill and it's really just the best. So, start with that. Also add red onion, cannellini beans, crimini mushrooms and PEAS. Tuna and almonds would really have taken things up a notch.

The dressing: lemon, balsamic, oo, salt/pep, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and garlic.
