Ingredients 

  • 500 g green peas frozen
  • 1 red onion julienned
  • 6 Tbsp mint chopped

Avocado Mayo:

  • 2 avocados ripe
  • 2 Tbsp mustard
  • ½ lemon juice only
  • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Steam the frozen peas using a steamer for about 15 minutes. Steamed peas are sweeter and look better than boiled peas, so I strongly recommend steaming them instead of boiling.
  • Add all the avocado mayo ingredients to a blender and blend well until smooth.
  • Put the steamed peas in a large bowl. Add the julienned onion and chopped fresh mint. Add the avocado mayo and mix well.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Let the steamed peas cool for a few minutes before dressing so the avocado mayo coats them rather than sliding off. Best served fresh; store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day.
