Peas in the Spring are sweet little balls of nature’s candy. They burst in your mouth with every bite and are only enhanced with a squeeze of lemon and some fresh parmesan mixed in.

I love to eat these peas with my Lemony Salmon, but they would also taste great with chicken, pork chops or along side a nice steak. Or, if you love eating side dishes, just make it a meal with some other side dishes. That would be yummy too!
