Ingredients
  

Salad
  • 200 grams peas fresh or frozen
  • 200 grams sugar snap peas topped
  • 200 grams snow peas topped
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint roughly chopped
  • 200 grams feta cheese I prefer Danish but any feta is fine so long as it is full fat
Dressing
  • 1 clove garlic crushed/minced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
  • 1 tsp raw honey you can use normal honey too or you can omit this ingredient entirely
  • 100 ml olive oil extra virgin and cold pressed if possible
  • 1 tsp rock salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. For the dressing, combine the crushed garlic, lemon juice and honey. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil. Season with salt and pepper
  2. In a large pan of boiling salted water, cook fresh peas for 5-6 minutes (3 minutes if frozen), adding the sugar snap and snow peas for the final 2 minutes (less if you like them crunchy). Drain and refresh under cold water. Cool completely.
  3. Place the vegetables in a large bowl with the pea shoots, feta, mint and dressing and toss gently to combine.
