How to Make Pea Feta And Mint Salad With Pistachios

  1. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 cup fresh or frozen peas and blanch for 2 minutes, or until bright green and tender. Immediately drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. While peas are cooling, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until softened and translucent.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 3 tablespoons olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the blanched peas, sautéed red onion, and 1/4 cup shelled pistachios.
  6. Pour the dressing over the pea mixture and toss gently to combine.
  7. Add 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped, and 1/4 cup pea shoots (optional). Toss gently to incorporate.
  8. Crumble 4 ounces feta cheese over the salad and serve immediately. Enjoy!
