Spring Pea and Mint Salad
Ingredients
- 3 cups fresh or frozen peas
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
- 1 small shallot thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook 1 to 2 minutes, until bright green and just tender.
- Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to cool quickly.
- Whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
- Add the peas, shallot and mint and toss gently to coat.
- Scatter the feta over the top just before serving, so it stays in crumbles.
Good to Know
Use frozen peas straight from the freezer, no need to thaw first, they finish cooking in the same 1 to 2 minutes.
