Ingredients

1           package (10 ounces) frozen baby green peas, slightly thawed
12         ounces (about 4 cups) white button mushrooms, sliced
1/2        cup sliced radishes
1/2        cup (from 12-ounce bottle) creamy Caesar dressing
2           tablespoons minced fresh chives or sliced green onions (scallions)
2           tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/4        teaspoon salt

Directions

In a medium saucepan bring 1 inch water to a boil. Add peas; simmer uncovered, until nearly tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a colander; drain and rinse under cold water. Place in a large bowl along with mushrooms, radishes, dressing, chives, Parmesan cheese and salt; stir gently to coat. To serve, spoon salad over 4 lettuce-lined serving plates, dividing evenly; garnished with egg wedges and chives, if desired.
