Not only is it a good idea to serve a salad with your delicious split pea soup, but it's also a very tasty idea!Here's why:1. The texture of the salad will compliment the texture of the soup, which is smooth and creamy with just a little bit of crunch.2. The flavor of each dish will complement the other—you'll have a taste explosion in your mouth!3. You'll get more nutrients from eating both dishes together than you would if you ate them separately (unless you're just eating one or the other).
