This salad is chock-full of healthy vegetarian protein from hard-boiled eggs and cannellini beans and nutrient-rich veggies. It gets its crunch from snow peas, chilled green peas, crisp sliced radishes, and cherry tomatoes.

The parmesan peppercorn salad dressing combines creaminess with a light tang. Sour cream and light mayonnaise add richness, while buttermilk and lemon juice make the dressing light enough to keep it pourable.

A little fresh minced garlic and grated parmesan add body, while Spice Monger™ organic ground black pepper lends a subtle kick. As proven by countless pasta dishes, lemon juice, black pepper, and parmesan are a match made in heaven, whether over linguini or in a salad dressing.
