Instructions

Blanch the peas in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes, then immediately transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Drain and pat dry.
In a large bowl, combine the peas, feta cheese, mint, parsley and radishes.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Pour the dressing over the pea mixture and toss to combine.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!

Notes

Use quality ingredients. Recipes with fewer ingredients rely on the quality of those ingredients for the best outcome. So you should use extra virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, and fresh herbs.
Don’t Over Toss. Carefully toss the salad together with the lemon dressing. You don’t want to smush the peas. You also shouldn’t toss the salad until right before serving.
Add some spice. If you want to add a little heat you can add some crushed red chili flakes to the dressing. You can also just sprinkle some on top before serving the salad.
