Steps:

You need 2 large handfuls of baby spinach -- check for nasty stalky or wilted bits and then give it a really good wash (nobody likes gritty spinach). Spin dry, and add to a salad bowl with 2 smaller handfuls of fresh peas (unless you are lucky enough to get young peas which are sweet and tender, you should blanch the peas in boiling, unsalted water and leave to cool). Dress the salad at the last minute with olive oil and lemon juice dressing and sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.

BABY SPINACH, FRESH PEA AND FETA SALAD image

Yield 6 sides

Number Of Ingredients 6

a few good handfuls baby spinach
a couple of handfuls fresh podded peas
a few pieces marinated goats cheese feta, like Meredith Farm
2 tablespoons lemon juice
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon each sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Wash the spinach, picking out any wilted bits, and remove long stems, and then dry well. Blanch the peas in boiling water, and then drain well. Toss the spinach, peas and crumbled feta together in a salad bowl. To make the dressing, whisk together the lemon juice, oil and salt and pepper. Toss through the salad just before serving. Serves 6 as a side. I sometimes like to add some pumpkin to this salad: take half a really orange-fleshed butternut pumpkin, and cut into 1 - 2 cm pieces. Toss in a baking pan with olive oil, sea salt and pepper. Roast at 200C for 20 minutes or until cooked. Toss through the salad with the other ingredients.
