Bring on spring and the peas! It’s not a secret that I love peas and this is definitely my new favorite recipe. Most of the time peas are served hot and smothered in butter, such a shame. They are super versatile, good hot or cold, with pasta or spinach, slightly sweet but they work so well with other flavors.
Here are a few Nutritional Facts about Peas you may not have known: per 1 cup

So go ahead and eat those peas, they’re tasty and good for you!
Ingredients: 4 servings
16 ounces organic peas ( defrosted if frozen, blanched if fresh)
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots or red onion
1/4 cup fresh parsley – chopped
1/2 cup tofu feta* Recipe below
dressing-
1 1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper – to taste
Method:
combine peas, shallots and parsley in a large bowl. in a small bowl or jar, combine dressing ingredients and whisk or shake to mix well. our over pea mixture then top with tofu.

Here is my version of tofu feta: drain and crumble tofu into a bowl, drizzle with a little lemon juice add sea salt and allow to stand in the refrigerator for at least one hour. I tend to just keep some pre-made in the fridge because I can throw it onto a salad, pizza or pasta. Sometimes I just eat it out of the bowl and it doesn’t make it to top anything.
Oh man. This looks completely delicious – I can’t wait to try it!
