This Spring Pea Cobb Salad with Glazed Pecans should be at the top of your list of salads to make this spring and summer!

Spring has officially shown its beautiful face and with it comes all of the fresh and flavorful salads that we all love so much. I, for one, couldn’t be more thrilled.

This Spring Pea Cobb Salad with Glazed Pecans is one of my favorites for entertaining because it’s packed with crave-worthy ingredients like glazed pecans! Ready to step up your own salad game?

I’m of the opinion that every spring get-together needs to include a salad or two. My number one tip for enticing everyone to put a little bit on their plate (even salad haters) is adding something sweet and crunchy, like Glazed Pecans. Who wouldn’t want to try a salad that’s studded with the sweet and salty essence of Emerald Glazed Pecans? Not only are they incredibly tasty, but they’re also a nutritious AND delicious addition to your spring dishes. I also love adding them to my spring charcuterie boards for an unexpected twist on traditional nuts.

My second tip is to make your salad as colorful as possible. It’s true that you eat with your eyes first, so adding plenty of color from beautiful seasonal produce is key. Vibrant cherry tomatoes, bright jade spring peas, and creamy avocado will lure just about anyone in. Truth be told, you shouldn’t have any trouble getting this mouth-watering salad to fly off the platter. I’m sharing my creamy blue cheese dressing recipe to go alongside, but I’d also recommend putting out a simple olive oil and vinegar dressing as an alternative.
