In reply to MK. Hello, yes, you might not have as much fresh, springtime flavor with frozen, but it should still work. I subbed garlic for garlic scapes and still think it came out well. If you do try it, let me know how it turns out!

This looks great. We don’t have fresh peas yet here, unfortunately. Can you make this with blanched frozen peas?

Thanks

In reply to Evelyn. Oh yay, I'm so glad to read your feedback on this one, Evelyn! Thank you! I haven't tried the Italian version yet, but I love vinegar, so I'm looking forward to it!

In reply to Kate. I saw your 'spread the love' call on the Best of May post, and I remembered I never let you know how this salad turned out! Well, it was divine, I'm actually making it at least once a week! I love the raw fennel, together with the lemon dressing it makes the salad so juicy and fresh, perfect with the sweetness of the peas and the saltiness of the crispy croutons. Actually my mouth is watering again now I'm writing this, haha. Did you try the Italian version yet? It's quite different from this salad, the vinegar-soaked bread is really bold, but it refreshes and zaps me awake (in a good way!) at the same time every time I take a bite.

Pea shoots? Interesting take on panzanella ;-) I just made the traditional version. Did you know that there were only onions in the original panzanella as tomatoes only became popular a couple centuries later in Italy?
