This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

This dish was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the spring vegetables, shallots, and lemon were perfectly balanced. I especially loved the crispy shallots, which added a nice textural contrast to the tender vegetables.
