Pea, Bean & Herb Salad with Feta, recipe by Hayden Quinn

Ingredients

Method

  1. Two things to get your started, one: bring a large pot of water to the boil and add a tbs of salt, and two: make an ice bath by filling a large bowl halfway with ice and water.
  2. Place the peas, beans and snow peas into the boiling water and blanch for 2–3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place immediately into the ice bath to cool completely for around 5 minutes then strain.
  3. To assemble the salad, place the blanched greens into a large bowl. Crumble half of the feta over the top and add half of the mint leaves. Drizzle over olive oil, the zest of half a lemon and a generous squeeze of lemon juice.
  4. Season with flaked sea salt to taste and toss together. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
  5. Arrange on a salad platter or in a bowl. Top with the rest of the feta and mint.
