Meanwhile, trim peas by cutting ends and removing string along seam.
Blanch peas in salted, boiling water, and then cool in an ice bath (see asparagus recipe for blanching instructions). Drain and set aside.

Combine ingredients in a mixing bowl and season to taste with sherry vinegar, salt, and pepper.
