Lovely spring is here, finally! Even though the weather is not just as warm as I would like it to be, I’m still happy to see the sun and be able to walk in the park without freezing to death! 🙂 Leafy greens are now abundant at the farmers’ markets and my fridge is vibrant green, filled with wild garlic, baby spinach, watercress, lettuce and arugula! Oh..I love this season. It’s so vegan friendly!

Ingredients
- 500 g green peas frozen
- 1 red onion julienned

Avocado Mayo:
- 2 avocados ripe
- 2 Tbsps mustard
- ½ lemon juice only
- 3 Tbsps extravirgin olive oil

Instructions
- Steam frozen peas using a steamer (15 minutes). Steamed peas is sweeter and looks better than boiled peas, so I would strongly recommend steaming it instead of boiling.

- Serve!

I love avocado, so I had to try this recipe. It's so good even my husband loved it (and he's a picky eater and he also hates avocado hahaha). Thank you for sharing the recipe!
