Steps:
- Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add peas, and cook until tender but still slightly firm, about 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove peas to a strainer and cool under cold running water. Let dry. Bring water back to a boil. Add asparagus, and cook until tender but still slightly crisp, about 4 minutes. Drain, and cool under cold running water. Dry on a dish towel, then slice into 3/4-inch pieces (there should be about 1 cup). Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together garlic chives, vinegar, mustard, large pinch salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning; it should be highly seasoned.
- In a large serving bowl, combine arugula, lollo rosso, peas, asparagus, tarragon and daikon radish. Pour about half the dressing on top, and toss to coat vegetables, adding more dressing if necessary. Let sit for 15 minutes. Taste, and adjust seasoning once more before serving.

Steps:
- Place rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 425°F. If you see or feel dirt in leeks, rinse well, separating layers, then pat dry; otherwise, leave rounds intact.
- Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a 10" cast-iron or other deep, heavy, ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Cook sausage, stirring occasionally, until browned, 5-7 minutes. Add garlic and cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes more. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage and garlic to a plate, reserving about 2 Tbsp. oil in pan.
- Return pan to low heat and add flour, 1 Tbsp. at a time, stirring to combine. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture starts to smell toasty and is the color of peanut butter, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in stock 1/4-cupful at a time. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low. Add carrots, potatoes, and leek and simmer until carrots and potatoes are just softened and liquid is reduced by half, 10-12 minutes. Add reserved sausage and garlic, peas, dill, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper and stir to combine.
- Remove from heat. Place pastry over skillet, tucking corners gently into sides; it won't completely cover pan. Whisk egg with 1 Tbsp. water (if not using, substitute 1 Tbsp. oil) in a small bowl and brush top of pastry. Cut four 1" slits in pastry to vent.
- Bake pot pie until pastry is beginning to brown and underside is cooked, 23-25 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes before serving.
- Meanwhile, whisk remaining 4 Tbsp. oil, 2 Tbsp. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add spinach, arugula, radishes, cilantro, parsley, and almonds and toss to combine.
- Divide pot pie among plates and serve salad alongside.
Tips:
- To save time, use frozen peas instead of fresh peas. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the salad.
- If you don't have arugula, you can use another type of leafy green, such as spinach or romaine lettuce.
- To make the salad more flavorful, add some crumbled feta cheese or goat cheese.
- For a vegan version of the salad, omit the cheese and add some chopped walnuts or almonds.
- This salad is best served fresh, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
This arugula and pea salad is a delicious and healthy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing salad, give this one a try!
