Green Bean Salad with Mustard Seeds and Tarragon

Vibrant green veggies (green beans, snow peas and green peas to be exact), fragrant fresh tarragon, lemon zest, coriander and mustard seed-infused olive oil, red chiles, garlic, red onion and baby lettuce.  Therein lies the magic to a fresh, bright, scrumptious--and perfect for Spring--salad.

I fell in love with the gorgeous colors that makes this salad a stunner, as much as I did with the robust flavors.  Eating in season never tasted (or looked) so good.  So welcome this dish into your Spring eating arsenal.

Happy Eating!
