Background

New potato salads are perfect for Summer barbecues, garden parties, picnics and trips. This potato salad with green peas and feta is very versatile - can be served warm or cold; as a side dish or as main; the herb can be changed to parsley or dill (depending on your main dish). It goes particularly well with lamb.

Ingredients

500g baby new potatoes
200g sweat peas (or petit pois)
1 red onion
1 red chilli
2 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
2 Tbsp chopped mint ( or dill, parsley, Greek basil)
100g Feta cheese
½ cup pitted olives (green or black)

Instructions

Cook the potatoes in lightly salted water for approx. 15 minutes, until tender. Add the peas for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and put them back into the pan ( cut the potatoes in half, if they are not bite-sized).
Meanwhile, slice the red onion, deseed and finely chop the chilli.
Mix the drained, still hot potatoes with the olive oil and lemon. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the chopped onion and chilli, then the olives. Combine well.
Just before serving, add the feta and mint - toss and serve.
