Pea and Feta salad

Sweet Pea & Feta Salad

Cook time: 10 minutes
Serves 2-3

You Need:

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black or white pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 garlic clove
  • About 4 ounces feta cheese
  • 1/2 red onion
  • Juice from about 1/3 a lemon (optional)
  • 2 cups frozen peas
  • 1/3 bag fresh spinach leaves
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • Directions:
    1. Run your knife through the spinach a few times to make it a little more manageable for tossing. Put in large bowl and set aside.
    2. Thinly slice onions. Add olive oil to pan. Sauté onion and garlic on med high heat for about 3 minutes or until onions get tender. Add raisins and peas and salt and pepper. Sauté until peas are cooked through, raisins are nice and soft/juicy and onions are on the verge of being caramelized.
    3. Pour contents of the pan (still piping hot) directly onto the spinach leaves. Immediately toss thoroughly until spinach leaves are all coated in juices from pan and begin to wilt a little.
    3. Add feta (If it’s a block, cut it into cubes and crumble it over the salad) and toss together one more time. Squeeze a little lemon juice (optional) for some extra acidity over top and give one last toss. Enjoy at room temp right away.
