A fresh and vibrant salad combining sweet green peas, creamy feta cheese, and refreshing mint. Light, flavorful, and perfect as a quick side or warm-weather dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups green peas (fresh or frozen, thawed)

  • 1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup cucumber, diced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp toasted nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. If using frozen peas, thaw and drain. If using fresh peas, blanch briefly and cool.

Notes

  • Add quinoa or couscous for a more filling dish.
  • Swap feta with goat cheese for a creamier texture.
  • Include cherry tomatoes or avocado for variation.
  • Use vinegar instead of lemon juice for a different flavor.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Add mint just before serving for best freshness.
