Spring Pea and Arugula Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing

Let me tell you something. I have a tumultuous love-hate relationship with salads. Please, assure me I am not the only one!

I know they are good for me but they just don’t excite me in the same way something warm and gooey like cheese fondue does.  But then spring comes and I welcome salads into my life with open arms.

Spring Pea and Arugula Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing

So much green goodness out there, I couldn’t be happier. It lasts for a bit and then salads are once again dead to me. I want to stay faithful to them forever but it’s tough, guys.

One thing I have discovered, however, is key to a great tasting salad is a flavourful dressing and today I am going to let you in on a fabulous dressing recipe secret.

Spring Pea and Arugula Salad with Creamy Dill Dressing

As an adult with well-developed taste buds I’ve come to love vinaigrettes and appreciate their health benefit, but in my opinion nothing can compare to creamy dressings. That’s when my Slavic upbringing on butter and sour cream chimes in I am sure.

The salad and dressing I am sharing with you today is reminiscent of flavours of summer garden salads I grew up eating. The shape and form vary slightly from traditional Russian salads but the flavours are all there!

Spring Pea and Arugula with Creamy Dill Dressing

Sweet peas and crunchy radishes brought together by creamy dill dressing and crumbled fresh farmer’s cheese. Those are the true flavours of Russian summers spent in the country!

I’ve used arugula, although sorrel would be a more authentic pairing, which has proven to be impossible to find outside of Eastern Europe. Do you still have Easter eggs kicking around? Throw them into the mix, the last addition could not be more Russian!
