Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the olive oil, white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, and honey. Sprinkle with kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste for the perfect seasoning.

  3. In a serving dish, spread the whipped goat cheese evenly across the bottom, creating a luscious, creamy layer that will complement the crunchy salad.
  4. Carefully spoon the pea salad mixture over the whipped goat cheese. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest on top and an extra drizzle of olive oil for added richness and flavor.
