Yummy Summer Pea Salad
Just think of those fresh, vibrant green peas mingling together in a salad party! This dish is not only delightful but also super easy to whip up. You’ll impress your friends and taste buds alike!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh peas (or frozen, but fresh is best!)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Start by boiling your peas. If they’re fresh, just toss them in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until vibrant green. If they’re frozen, go ahead and follow the package instructions.
- Drain the peas and rinse them under cold water to stop the cooking process. We don’t want mushy peas, just crisp and cute little spheres!
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled peas, cherry tomatoes, red onion, feta cheese, and mint leaves. Give them a good toss so they can make new best friends!
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. This dressing is the secret to jazzing up our salad!
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is coated in that wonderful flavor. Make sure every pea is feeling the love!
- Let the salad chill for about 15-20 minutes in the fridge for all those flavors to mingle like old pals.
- Serve it cold or at room temperature and watch it disappear faster than you can say “Yummy Summer Pea Salad!”
This dish is perfect for picnics, barbecues, or just a refreshing treat on a hot day. So go on, make some magic with these peas, and enjoy every delicious bite!
