Spicy Asian Spinach Salad

I've been getting back to eating healthy and so I'm on the look-out for great vegetarian recipes.  When your food options are limited you can become very creative! My friend Patty from Victoria made a delicious salad for a party with cooked green peas and a spicy dressing.  I ate the left overs for a week.  Here's  the best imitation I could come up with.

Adding peas to a vegetarian dish is a great idea since peas are a "seed" vegetable.  These veggies typically are high in protein.  You'll notice that you'll stay full longer when you add them to a salad.
