Minty Spinach Salad

This is a lovely, fresh salad where the warm, earthy flavor of beetroot pairs beautifully with salty feta and sweet petit pois (peas). You will especially love the toasted pumpkin seed garnish, which offers the perfect texture in every mouthful.

Chef Tips:

• Petit pois are baby peas. They need no cooking and offer beautiful bursts of sweetness in a salad. They take no time at all to defrost, and the best way to do this is to lay them evenly out on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
• Ready-cooked beetroot is a handy store-bought item. They are usually steamed, peeled, and lightly pickled.
