Asparagus, English Peas and Capers Salad

Traders Joe’s is about the only place I know that consistently carries English Peas in the Spring. I’ve tweaked this Asparagus, English Peas, and Capers Salad recipe throughout the years, looking to find some that provided the salty balance this salad needed that was too heavy.
