PEA SALAD
Peas straight from the freezer retain their crisp exterior and soft, creamy interior in this simple-to-make salad. For a subtler onion flavor, soak onion slices in cool water, then thoroughly drain before folding into the mayonnaise mixture.

FRESH ENGLISH PEA SALAD
From The Kitchen restaurant in Boulder, CO in their appetizers section. There is a note that says as sping turns to summer and the peas get sweeter to substitute feta cheese for the pecorino. Yum yum! I love peas! This is an appetizer to be shared, although I think with some balsamic glazed chicken this would be an excellent dinner salad!

Steps:
- Remove peas from pods. Bring a pot of very salty water to boil. Add peas and boil for about 1 minute, just until color changes to a consistent bright green. Remove and cool in ice water or under running cold water. (The cold water stops the cooking and keeps the peas bright green.).
- Wash and dry mint and arugula. In a bowl, combine peas with mint and arugula. Add juice of 1 lemon, olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Shave half of the pecorino onto a cutting board and reserve. Shave remaining pecorino, chop, and add to salad; toss. Taste and adjust seasoning with more lemon juice or olive oil as desired.
- 3. Serve immediately, topped with reserved shaved pecorino cheese.

Tips:
- For the freshest and sweetest peas, choose ones that are plump and have a bright green color. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
- To quickly blanch the peas, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the peas from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs in your salad for added flavor. Some good options include mint, basil, chives, and dill.
- If you don't have fresh lemon juice on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemon juice will give your salad a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
- Serve the salad immediately after making it, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Conclusion:
This fresh English pea salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
