Filled with spicy arugula, savory marjoram, sweet cherries, and brilliant green peas, one bite of this salad is like a forkful of spring. With extra crunch from toasted pecans and extra tartness from fresh lemon juice, this salad is filling enough to stand on its own for lunch or dinner, but also makes a lovely, seasonal side dish.
