A refreshing and vibrant salad perfect for spring and summer gatherings.
In a medium bowl, combine the fresh mint leaves, brined capers, finely chopped shallot, lemon zest, extra virgin olive oil, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Chop the mint leaves finely to release their aroma and blend well with the dressing.
Add the green peas to the bowl and gently toss to coat them evenly with the dressing.
If using fresh peas, blanch them briefly in boiling water for a vibrant color and tender texture.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the salad and give it a light toss to distribute.
Add the cheese just before serving to maintain its texture.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and serve at room temperature.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
