This warm green pea salad with avocado mayo and mint has an incredible taste and texture! The avocado mayo is absolutely perfect in this combination and mint gives it an intense flavor.
Lovely spring is here, finally! Even though the weather is not just as warm as I would like it to be, I’m still happy to see the sun and be able to walk in the park without freezing to death! 🙂 Leafy greens are now abundant at the farmers’ markets and my fridge is vibrant green, filled with wild garlic, baby spinach, watercress, lettuce and arugula! Oh..I love this season. It’s so vegan friendly!

Ingredients
- 500 g green peas frozen
- 1 red onion julienned

Avocado Mayo:
- 2 avocados ripe
- 2 Tbsps mustard
- ½ lemon juice only
- 3 Tbsps extravirgin olive oil
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- Steam frozen peas using a steamer (15 minutes). Steamed peas is sweeter and looks better than boiled peas, so I would strongly recommend steaming it instead of boiling.

- Put steamed peas in a large bowl. Add julienned onion and chopped fresh mint. Add avocado mayo and mix well.
- Serve!

I love avocado, so I had to try this recipe. It's so good even my husband loved it (and he's a picky eater and he also hates avocado hahaha). Thank you for sharing the recipe!
