Let’s make some garden pea salad with strawberries, mint vinaigrette, dried strawberries, and stracciatella di bufala. You might also just call it porn on a plate. This recipe is one of Uri’s staples and we almost didn’t change anything because it was already perfect.

The garden pea salad is perfect for hot summer days. The mint vinaigrette gives it a refreshing element. If stracciatella di bufala is hard to find in your region, you can totally use burrata or even mozzarella. Just be aware that the result will not be as creamy as our version. We used freeze-dried strawberries, but you can use fresh ones or any other freeze-dried or fresh fruit. Just get creative!
We highly recommend using fresh peas, but if you get your hands on frozen peas, you can use them. Just don’t overcook them, and make sure you put them in ice water after cooking.
