I’ve been having a weird obsession with frozen peas lately and I have no idea why. But they are easy, inexpensive and delicious if you prepare them correctly! Peas, mint and feta is a classic combo, which makes the most delicious base for this warming salad. It’s the perfect thing to bring when you’re told to bring a salad. No longer is it cool just to bring some chopped up iceberg lettuce with tomatoes on top. Salads are such a fabulous way to add some intrigue to whatever meal you are about to enjoy. And I love the idea of bringing them to the centre of the meal, as opposed to just a forgotten side dish that no one really wants to eat. Next time you prepare a salad for a crowd, I challenge you to make it show-stopping like this one! This is the kind of thing that people will not want to stop eating. The key element of this dish is my Creamy Mint Sauce. When it comes to building a delish dish like this, once you’ve got a tasty and rich sauce, the rest is really just picking some nice veggies and throwing it together. Easy!
