Toasted almonds, crisp radishes, and vibrant sweet peas make up this colorful and healthy salad recipe.
This fast and easy sweet pea, radish, and almond salad can be thrown together in the last minute and is full of taste.
If you forgot to defrost the peas, throw them in the microwave at power level 6 for a couple minutes or until defrosted. Stir occasionally. You want the peas defrosted but not cooked.
Don't want to turn the oven on or trying to save time? No problem - toss the almonds in the mix without toasting them.
