Servings:

  • 2/3 cup split peas, green dried
  • 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups tomatoes whole, diced or cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup corn, kernels, frozen
  • 2 tbsp parsley fresh; minced

Instructions

  1. Combine the split peas and broth in a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stir, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the split peas are tender, but not mushy and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes
  2. Combine the cooked split peas in a large bowl with the tomatoes, corn, parsley, basil, oregano, and chives. Toss well to combine.
  3. In a jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the lemon juice and zest, olive oil, dijon, garlic powder, syrup, salt and pepper. Close and shake well to combine.
  4. Pour dressing over the salad and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
