Fresh Pea and Mint Salad

Serves 4–6

You'll Need
  • 2 cups fresh spring peas
  • ½ cup fresh mint leaves, torn
  • 1 tsp grated lemon zest
  • 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper
  • ½ cup crumbled feta/goat cheese
Prep and Cook
  • Blanche the peas by dropping them in boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove and run under very cold water to cool. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the mint, lemon zest, oil, salt and pepper.
  • Add peas and cheese and toss gently.

Good to know: Salad can be made ahead of time and dressing added when ready to serve. If fresh peas aren’t available, substitute with frozen petite green peas.

**This side dish goes perfectly with blackberry kebobs.
