Cooking Directions
Add all ingredients for the sweet pea pesto to a food processor and blend until smooth.
As this recipe makes enough to fill two mason jars, split the ingredients evenly between the jars. Add red wine vinegar and olive oil to the mason jars. Add your onion slices, followed by your peppers, the crusty bread cubes, the tomatoes, the white kidney beans and a couple tablespoons of the pesto. Top it off with your radicchio and basil leaves.
Store in the refrigerator or chilled picnic basket/cooler until ready to serve.

Nutrition Facts
We often think of green peas as a vegetable, but they are actually a member of the legume family. Two cups of raw sugar snap peas has almost as much protein as an egg!
Legumes contain a plant chemical called coumestrol that may help prevent stomach cancer. Research suggests that eating about a cup of legumes every day – enough to provide at least 2 mg of coumestrol – reduces stomach cancer risk. Green peas are particularly high in coumestrol, with 1 cup providing 10 mg of this plant chemical.
Peas, beans and other legumes are great for the soil. They are known as “nitrogen-fixing” crops because they deposit nitrogen into the soil. Nitrogen is an important mineral for the growth of other types of crops. Rotating other crops with legumes means that farmers don’t have to rely on fertilizers.
