three-way pea salad with feta and lemon

I posted this pea salad with feta and lemon on Instagram and Facebook a few weeks ago and everyone went crazy for it. So I wanted to immortalise it here, given that we all get memory like goldfish on social media.

This recipe is a great one for packed lunches as it hangs around well. I love it alongside roast chicken, grilled salmon or steak.  It is also pretty delish stuffed inside flatbread.

Sugar snap peas are also known as snap peas. They are one of those vegetables I felt I’d grown out of – I put them in the mental box of slightly pointless veg, alongside mange tout (snow peas) and baby corn. But because I wanted a pea-packed salad, in this case, I busted them out and used them raw. Aside from the health benefits of eating them raw, they have a fantastic crunch and freshness that works beautifully with the frozen peas I used.
