How to highlight just one aspect of this dish? It's verdant and fresh-looking (that's one). It features some of spring's brightest flavors--green beans, peas, leeks (that's two). It's hearty and satisfying (that's three). We could go on and on. A better use of your time, however, would be to roll up your sleeves and get to cooking.
