Ingredients

6 cups fresh or frozen peas
3 tbsp olive oil
¼ cup diced onion
1 tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp honey
1 tbsp minced tarragon
2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high.
Add onion, salt, and pepper and sauté until softened, 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add the mustard and honey, mixing to dissolve the honey.
Add the minced tarragon and lemon juice. Whisk to combine and set aside.
Steam shelled and prepared peas over simmering water fitted with a steamer basket. Steam until peas are tender, about 4-6 minutes. Personally, I like mine slightly less done.
Remove from steamer and pour into a large bowl. Pour on prepared vinaigrette and toss peas in vinaigrette.
Garnish with more tarragon and serve.
