Pea And Feta Salad Recipes

PEA AND FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Place the oil, white wine vinegar, caster sugar, half the mint and a little salt and pepper to taste, in a pan. Put on a medium hob and heat gently until just simmering, remove straight away and leave to cool.
• Lightly cook the mangetout, peas and edamame beans until al dente (in a steamer or boiling salted water). Remove and rinse in ice cold water before draining.
• Thinly slice the radishes and carrots and place into a bowl along with the remaining finely chopped mint.
• Roughly chop the pea shoots and combine with the carrot and radish mix, then add the mange tout, peas and edamame beans.
• Toast the cashew nuts in a dry frying pan taking care not to burn them; then, when cool, roughly chop them.
• Lightly dress the ingredients and mix together until evenly combined.
• Place the salad mix in a bowl; crumble over the feta cheese and cashew nuts.
• Finish with an extra drizzle of the dressing and serve.

FIELD PEA SALAD WITH TOMATOES AND FETA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-high. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in peas, 2 cups water, bay leaf, ¾ teaspoon of the salt, and ½ teaspoon of the pepper.

• In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the peas in the boiling water until they are just tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Refresh immediately by plunging them into a bowl of cold water. Drain and reserve the peas.
• In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar and honey, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• In a large salad bowl, mix the peas, onions, pistachios, and pour over the dressing. Add the mint and snow pea leaves, and gently toss to coat with dressing. Top the salad with the feta cheese just before serving.

BABY SPINACH, FRESH PEA AND FETA CHEESE SALAD

Steps:

• You need 2 large handfuls of baby spinach -- check for nasty stalky or wilted bits and then give it a really good wash (nobody likes gritty spinach). Spin dry, and add to a salad bowl with 2 smaller handfuls of fresh peas (unless you are lucky enough to get young peas which are sweet and tender, you should blanch the peas in boiling, unsalted water and leave to cool). Dress the salad at the last minute with olive oil and lemon juice dressing and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
