Sweet peas, snow peas and feta cheese salad - Chef Sabrina Mancin

Sweet peas, snow peas and feta cheese salad

Even though you can make this all year round, this recipe has “Spring” written all over it!
Omit the feta and you have a super refreshing vegan salad as well.

INGREDIENTS

Serves 6-8 people

• 25 oz Sweet peas (frozen)
• 8 oz Snow peas (fresh)
• ½ cup Leeks
• 1 clove Garlic
• ½ cup Mint (fresh)
• 1 ea Lemon (or lime) zest and juice
• 10 oz Feta cheese (preferably in brine)
• ½ cup Extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper

PROCEDURE

  • Defrost and cook the frozen peas following the package instructions, usually about 4 minutes in the microwave, let stand 2 minutes and then open the bag. Add them to a big empty bowl.
  • Cook the snow peas in the microwave just for 1 minute. Chop them on a bias and add to the bowl with the peas.
  • Smash and peel the garlic cloves. Add them to a sauté pan with the 3 tablespoons of evoo and cook for about 3 minutes on medium low, just until the garlic turns golden and the oil has been perfumed with its flavor. Add the chopped leeks and cook with some salt and pepper on medium heat for about 5 minutes. They should be soft and should have started to take in some color but are not burned. Add to the bowl.
  • To dress the salad, chop the fresh mint and add to the bowl, then the zest of the lemon and the juice of half of it, some salt and pepper and the rest of the evoo. Mix everything very well. Taste for seasoning. If you would like a bit more tang, add the rest of the lemon juice.
  • Cut the feta cheese into small cubes and add to the rest of the ingredients. Mix again very well and taste again. You can add more evoo, seasoning or even more mint if you’d like.

It should taste delicious and refreshing! Enjoy!
