Cooking Steps
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spiral pasta and cook according to the package instructions, usually around 7-8 minutes, until it's al dente.
- With about 4 minutes left on the pasta cooking time, add the chopped asparagus to the boiling pot. During the last minute of cooking, toss in the frozen sweet peas.
- Once cooked, drain the pasta, asparagus, and peas in a colander and quickly rinse under cold water. Set aside to drain completely.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, and lemon juice to create a creamy dressing. Season with kosher salt and black pepper.
- In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled pasta, asparagus, peas, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and chives. Gently fold to mix.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and fold the mixture until everything is evenly coated.
- You can serve the salad immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour to allow flavors to meld.
