Tips for Sweet Pea Salad with Almonds and Radishes
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.
Don't have sliced almonds? Cool, try marcona almonds, slivered almonds, or regular almonds.

- Benriner wide mandolin for slicing the radishes uber thin. I know mandolins are scary (use the safety holder!), but this is my favorite mandolin ever.
