Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups Fresh Sweet Peas Feel free to substitute with frozen peas, increasing cooking time slightly.
  • 1 cup Feta Cheese Adds a creamy, salty flavor; try swapping with goat cheese or freshly grated parmesan.
  • 1/4 cup Fresh Mint Leaves If mint isn’t available, parsley, cilantro, or dill work well as alternatives.
  • 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice Fresh juice is far preferable to bottled.

  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled peas, crumbled feta cheese, and finely chopped mint leaves. Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil.
  4. Gently toss everything together with a spatula, then taste and season with salt and pepper.
