Instructions
If using frozen peas, blanch them by placing them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water. If using fresh peas, simply rinse them well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas, diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, chopped red onion, feta cheese, and chopped parsley.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the pea mixture and gently toss to combine, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or pepper.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold, garnished with additional parsley or crumbled feta if desired. Enjoy!
