Green Garden Salad With Persian Feta + Lemon Scented Dressing
What's great about it
This is one of my favourite salads at the moment. I love the fact that it can be eaten both raw or lightly blanched for 15 seconds to still keep it crisp and delicious. Peas are a great vegetable source of protein that helps to fuel and repair your body, build lean muscle and supports your immune system as well as weight loss. Peas are also high in fibre and great for weight control because they are low GI, help keep you full and keep blood sugars stable.
Ingredients
2 cups (280 g/ 9 3/4 oz) green peas, fresh, raw or frozen
2 handfuls (200 g / 7 oz) sugar snap peas
1 handful, snow pea shoots, micro greens or sprouts such as broccoli or alfalfa
20 g Goats or Persian feta
1 x Dressing (see below)
Lemon Dressing
2 tablespoon lemon juice
4 tablespoons cold-pressed olive oil
