Another great recipe from Earth to Table: Seasonal Recipes from an Organic Farm by Jeff Crump and Bettina Schormann, two chefs at the Canadian restaurant Ancaster Old Mill. The book is divided into seasons with recipes for corresponding produce. And since they're in Canada, the season match up with those here in Maine—you know they're not going to try to tell you to use tomatoes in February (damn you, Florida!).
In rereading the recipe, I now realize that I forgot the mint in my salad. I've seen a lot of pea and mint combos, so it must be good. This salad is great even without the mint, so when you make yours, add mint and I'm sure it will be stellar.
