Green Garden Salad With Persian Feta + Lemon Scented Dressing

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 30 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.
