What a gorgeous looking dish…..the rosey skin of the new potatoes contrasted against the vibrant green of the peas is a feast for the eyes. I’m sure it’s a feast for the palate, as well.

That is one beautiful salad. I think the butter is an important ingredient in this salad. Lovely!

I agree with you. And if butter is a problem cholesterol-wise, then substitute extra-virgin olive oil or other healthy oils, not margarine or butter substitute! Or use the butter when it is a necessary ingredient, moderation is key.

I couldn’t agree more – why people would be substitutes for real butter I will never know.Er, hello? Fat is flavour! Anyway, its a natural product. Controversial i know but the evidence linking consumption of saturated fat to obesity and heart disease is flimsier than people think. Carbs are the real problem, apparently.

Looks delicious, can’t wait to make this salad. And I did buy light olive oil, but only to use it to make lavendar essence oil to be used for medicinal and pampering purposes. I am all about the extra virgin olive oil for cooking.

I’m with you… anything worth eating should be natural and not low fat, non-fat, substitute crap! and you probably know how I feel about wheat pasta… CRAP. No one had this stuff 50 years ago and they were much healthier and thinner.

Drool…. I’ll take a big bowl of that right now, extra butter, extra prosciutto please:-)

You know what’s even more aggravating than “light” butter? “LITE” butter! grrrr…. Whoever gave marketers free license to make up words should be barred from eating tasty dishes like this.

Sounds like a delicious salad. Butter must add nicely to the flavor.
