Frank's brother, Dan, and his wife, Rebecca, joined us for dinner this evening. We always enjoy spending time with them but we aren't going to fool ourselves into thinking that we were the reason they came by tonight. Nope, not at all........
It was these little guys that got them to come over and join us for dinner on a Friday night. It's okay though. We are happy to share our little guys with the family. We were also happy to share dinner with them. I served Roasted Chicken, Potato Galette, Glazed Carrots and this delicious Spring Pea and Mint Salad that I am sharing with you tonight. Rebecca brought a delicious Chocolate/Raspberry Cake for dessert. It was a lovely evening.
Spring Pea and Mint Salad
1 pkg. Frozen Baby Peas, thawed
1/2 of a small red onion, diced small
1/2 of a bunch of mint, leaves removed from stems and roughly chopped

DeleteMy mint is just beginning to break ground, not yet ready to harvest, but this recipe might send me to the grocery for a store-bought bunch. Yum!
