This snap pea salad with whipped feta is fresh, creamy, and vibrant. Crisp snap peas are paired with tangy whipped feta, garlic-infused olive oil, and a touch of lemon for a light yet flavorful dish.

Ingredients

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ to ¾ teaspoon red pepper flakes

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

½ cup plain Greek yogurt

16 oz sugar snap peas

2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Lemon zest, for garnish

Fresh dill (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a small skillet over low heat. Add garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cook gently for 2 minutes until fragrant, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  2. Blend feta and Greek yogurt in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
  3. Transfer whipped feta to a serving dish and drizzle with some garlic oil.
  4. Blanch snap peas in boiling water for 1–2 minutes, then transfer to an ice bath. Drain and pat dry.
  5. Toss snap peas with remaining garlic oil and lemon juice.
  6. Arrange snap peas over or alongside whipped feta. Garnish with lemon zest and dill.

Notes

Add cherry tomatoes or sliced cucumbers for extra crunch.

Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts or almonds for texture.

Use more red pepper flakes or chili oil for extra heat.

Snow peas can be used instead of snap peas.

Whipped feta can be prepared a day ahead.
