Method
- If using fresh peas, blanch them: bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add peas and cook for 1-2 minutes until bright green and tender. Drain immediately and transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop cooking. Drain well and pat dry.
- If using frozen peas, simply thaw them by running under cool water in a colander for 30 seconds, then drain thoroughly.
- In a small bowl or jar, combine olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk or shake until emulsified.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas, crumbled feta, chopped mint, and sliced radishes (if using).
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine. Taste and adjust salt or lemon if needed.
- Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving (toss again just before serving).
Notes
Storage: Best eaten within a few hours. If making ahead, keep dressing separate and toss just before serving. Leftovers keep in the fridge for 1 day, but peas may lose some brightness.
