Our Spring Pea Salad is a celebration of seasonal simplicity—crafted to bring vibrant color, crisp texture, and garden-fresh flavor to modern menus. Featuring sweet green peas as the hero ingredient, this salad is designed for chefs seeking light, versatile sides that complement a wide variety of mains. It’s fresh, fast, and full of flavor, making it ideal for spring and summer offerings, or year-round when looking to add a burst of brightness to the plate.

Blanched peas are paired with finely diced red onion, fresh herbs, and a lemony dressing that balances tangy and savory notes. Creamy elements like feta or a touch of mayo can be folded in for richness, while optional add-ins like radish, mint, or snap peas offer flexibility to match your kitchen’s inventory and clientele.

This salad is designed for operational ease: quick to prep, batch-friendly, and resilient in cold service environments. It holds well for grab-and-go programs, chilled stations, or plated service, making it a reliable choice for cafes, campus dining, catering, and institutional kitchens.

Naturally vegetarian and easy to adapt for vegan menus, it answers the growing demand for plant-forward, globally inspired fare that doesn’t compromise on taste or presentation. Chefs love its layered texture and zesty finish; buyers appreciate the low-waste ingredients and broad guest appeal.

Whether featured as a seasonal special or integrated into daily offerings, our Spring Pea Salad delivers freshness, functionality, and flavor in every bite.
