Our veg box arrived today in the pouring rain, containing a box of freshly picked pea pods and the most amazing bag of salad leaves.
Makes enough for one. You'll need:
some peas, freshly shelled (this is one occasion where the frozen variety probably aren't worth using)
a handful of salad leaves (mizuna or rocket, spinach and butterhead lettuce is a good combination)
25g feta cheese, cubed
2 rashers of streaky bacon
some salad dressing of your choice - something balsamic-y is good
Fry the bacon (you don't need to add any extra oil) for 5 minutes in a pan until it goes crispy. Slice into small pieces.
Sling the salad leaves into a large bowl, and chuck in the peas (uncooked). Add the feta cheese and the bacon pieces, and toss together. Drizzle over a little salad dressing and season with lots of black pepper.
Eat with some nice bread, or failing that some pitta bread that you've dragged out of the freezer and toasted...
