Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. If using frozen peas, thaw them under cold running water or blanch them briefly in boiling water for 1 minute, then immediately transfer to ice water to stop cooking. Drain well.

  3. In a medium bowl, combine the thawed peas, spring greens mix, and chopped fresh mint.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pea and greens mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients.
  5. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.

  • You can substitute baby spinach for the spring greens mix if desired.
  • This salad works well as a complement to grilled chicken or fish.
