Boil a kettle and cover the peas with boiling water (you can use frozen or fresh – I’d cook them the same…). Leave in a bowl for 2 minutes before draining and running under very cold water (so they don’t lose their lovely green colour). Leave to dry or pat with kitchen roll
Finely dice the Red Onion and Gherkin
Make a dressing with 1tsp Dijon, 2 tbsp Lemon Juice, really good drizzle of Olive Oil (at least 3 tbsp) and mix well
Lay our your Salad Leaves and cover with the Peas, Red Onion and Gherkins before dressing liberally (you don’t need to use Salad at all – the Peas are great on their own in a bowl…). Chop some fresh herbs too – Dill, Mint or Parsley are all great with this salad
Enjoy with white fish and a squeeze of Lemon – Gurnard or Flounder would be delicious
