Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh green peas
- 1 cup sugar snap peas
- 6 small radishes
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 0.25 small red onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 large lemons
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 cups feta cheese
- 0.25 cups toasted almonds
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and prepare a bowl of ice water.
Add the fresh green peas to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then immediately transfer them to the ice water using a slotted spoon to stop the cooking process.
Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water and cook for 1 minute, then transfer them to the ice water as well. Once cooled, drain both types of peas and set aside.
Thinly slice the radishes and cucumber. Finely slice the red onion into very thin strips.
Chop the fresh dill finely and set aside.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, honey, salt, and black pepper.
In a large salad bowl, combine the blanched peas, sugar snap peas, radishes, cucumber, red onion, and fresh dill.
Drizzle the lemon-dill dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Sprinkle the feta cheese and toasted almonds over the top of the salad for added texture and flavor.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
