I quickly make this the night before I need it as it tastes much better if it sits overnight. My daughter and her friend will not eat peas, but they love this salad.

Use a good quality balsamic vinegar: A good balsamic vinegar will have a rich, complex flavor that will add depth to the salad.
Don't overcook the peas: Peas should be cooked just until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking will make them mushy.
Add the peas to the salad warm: This will help them to absorb the flavors of the dressing.
Use a variety of herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, mint, and parsley, will add a lot of flavor to the salad.
Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many ways to customize this salad to your liking. Try adding different vegetables, cheeses, or nuts.
