PEA, FETA AND MINT SALAD

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the peas in the boiling water until they are just tender and bright green, about 2 minutes. Refresh immediately by plunging them into a bowl of cold water. Drain and reserve the peas.
• In a small pan, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, and cook until soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the mustard, the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar and honey, and season with salt and black pepper, to taste.
• In a large salad bowl, mix the peas, onions, pistachios, and pour over the dressing. Add the mint and snow pea leaves, and gently toss to coat with dressing. Top the salad with the feta cheese just before serving.

BEAN, CHICKPEA & FETA SALAD

• In a food processor, make a dressing by whizzing together the garlic, sundried tomatoes, peppers, vinegar and the remaining oil. Season, stir into the beans with the feta and serve.

FETA-BLACK BEAN SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in large bowl. Cover.
• Refrigerate several hours or until chilled.

SPINACH, BROAD BEAN & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare couscous with boiling water, according to the packet's instructions.
• Meanwhile, boil broad beans according to pack instructions. Cool in a colander under the cold tap, then drain. Put baby spinach leaves into a colander and pour over boiling water to wilt. Refresh under cold water and squeeze dry.
• Stir the broad beans, spinach, mint and the black olives into the couscous. Crumble in the feta. Drizzle with plenty of olive oil and season. Toss well.

BEETROOT, BEAN & FETA SALAD

Steps:

• Cook the broad beans according to packet instructions, then drain and refresh them in cold water. If you've got the time, peel the skins off the beans with your fingers - this is a fiddly job, but it's worth the effort because the skins can be quite tough.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a frying pan. Add the chopped shallot and sliced garlic and fry for a minute or two over a medium heat until pale golden. Stir in the chopped rosemary, then tip in the beetroot quarters and stir gently for 3-4 minutes, so the flavours mingle in the heat. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
• Lift out the beetroot quarters and put them into a bowl together with the salad leaves. Stir the vinegar and the remaining olive oil into the pan juices, then pour over the beetroot and salad leaves. Toss gently to mix through. Finally, just before serving, toss in the broad beans and cubes of feta cheese and taste for seasoning.
