CHRISTMAS SALAD | FRESH PEA, MINT, FETA SALAD
Tangy, Fresh & oh so cleansing. Munching away on this Green Pea salad feels good for the soul & light on the belly rather than the hefty weight we can often feel when we overindulge at this time of year! The mix of Tangy Feta, Fresh Mint, Crunchy Peas & a zesty lemon dressing... This Salad is the perfect accompiant to a Summer BBQ, Christmas Meat-festival and a good old go-to when you're feeling like you need to get some greens in you!
I hope you love it as much as I do and be sure to check out our other Christmas Salad Recipes we've been sharing this month for all your festivities!
