Apple Cider Vinegar – to balance the flavors of the salad with the nutritious homemade dressing ingredient.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – to help bring all of the salad ingredients together into the perfect dish.

• Feta Cheese or Parmesan Cheese

Pea and Cucumber Salad Recipe

• 3 Cups Fresh or Frozen Peas
• 1 Cucumber
• 2 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
• 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. If using frozen peas, place the peas into a heatproof bowl or saucepan, then pour over water from a recently boiled kettle.
2. Allow the peas to sit for 10 minutes to thaw.
3. Once the peas have thawed, drain and rinse them, then move to a large salad bowl. (If using fresh peas, you can simply wash them and pop them into the salad bowl.)
4. Wash and slice the cucumbers, removing the peel if preferred, and add to the peas in the salad bowl.
5. Toss to combine, then drizzle over the apple cider vinegar and extra virgin olive oil and give the salad a final toss through until well combined.
6. Enjoy straight away or place in the fridge for a few hours or overnight to all the flavors to develop, then enjoy within a couple of says, storing leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
