- ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese

- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp sugarcane syrup or honey

Instructions
- If using frozen peas, blanch them in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. If using fresh peas, cook for 3-4 minutes until tender, then cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the peas, cucumber, red onion, feta, mint, and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, honey (or sugarcane syrup), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
- Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- Serve immediately or chill for 15 minutes for enhanced flavor.
Notes
- You can substitute feta with goat cheese or omit it for a dairy-free option.
- Add toasted nuts (almonds or walnuts) for extra crunch.
- Works great as a side dish for grilled meats or a light lunch with crusty bread.
