Pea salad should let the peas shine. Let’s skip the mayo this year and make a pea salad that really celebrates the fresh bounty of the season! Nothing says spring like a green pea salad with a few slivers of radish, fresh herbs, and a finishing touch of feta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Best Healthy Pea Salad Recipe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It’s time to bring pea salad into the 21st century. Don’t get me wrong, the traditional English pea salad dressed in mayo, sour cream and cubes of cheddar has withstood the test of time, but I think these cheerful, green harbingers of spring are ready for an update. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this green pea salad recipe, I let the sweetness of the peas (fresh or frozen will do) take center stage. It’s the same approach I use for my Cucumber Radish Salad<\/a>: fresh, seasonal ingredients get the microphone and speak for themselves. Rather than drowning out the pea’s delicate flavor with mayo, I dress them up in their Sunday best with fresh mint, chives, a little olive oil, and salty creamy feta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, because this is a next-generation pea salad, I included a bit of Aleppo pepper just to keep you guessing. Consider this a fresh, healthy pea salad side to serve with Baked<\/a> or Broiled Salmon<\/a> or Lemon Rosemary Chicken Breasts<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe takes only 20 minutes to toss together, so make sure you start on your main course first. While this is not your typical picnic salad, who says it can’t become one? Double the recipe to feed a crowd, it’s delicious warm, room temperature, or cold. Make this pea salad and I promise you, you’ll never look back. <\/p>\n\n\n
