Ingredients
  

2 cups snap peas, trimmed

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh mint leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Bring a pot of water to boil. Add the trimmed snap peas and blanch for 1-2 minutes until they are bright green and tender-crisp.

    Drain the snap peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process. After a minute, drain the peas again and pat dry.

      In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

        Add the blanched snap peas to the bowl, and gently toss them in the dressing until they are evenly coated.

          Fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring not to break the cheese too much.

            Transfer the snap peas and feta mixture to a serving platter.

              Garnish with fresh mint leaves for added flavor and a pop of color.
