"I made this recipe several years ago, and the family loved it. The next time I went to make it I had lost the recipe, and tried to make it by memory but it was never the same. I found it years late in one of my old cookbooks, and now I know why it never turned out the same, I had forgotten half the ingredients!"

How refreshing this recipe is. The vibrant flavor of the peas and beans are picked up with the lemon and mint flavors. Lovely recipe especially during the spring and summer months. Thank you Tisme for finding this recipe and sharing it here with us.
