Background

This blanched pea & spinach salad with mustard dressing can be done in just 5 minutes. It's made with three different types of peas - garden peas, sugar snap peas and mangetout. It fits well in a roast dinner menu, particularly suits lamb & chicken dishes. Alternatively serve it at a BBQ party - it can be prepared in advance and served at room temperature.

Ingredients

200g garden peas
100g sugar-snap peas
100g mangetout
100g ounces baby spinach
1 handful mint leaves
Dressing:
½ Tbsp olive oil
½ Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
½ tsp chopped garlic
½ tsp honey (optional)

Instructions

Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Add all the peas and blanch them for 2 minutes. Rinse with cold water, drain. Put them back in the saucepan and toss with the spinach leaves.
Meanwhile whisk together the dressing.
Arrange the peas and spinach in a serving dish. Scatter the mint leaves on the top and drizzle with the dressing. Toss well.

Tips

Instead of blanching you can steam the vegetables (above boiling water or boiling potatoes) too!
