Ingredients:

1 cup peas
130g
1/4 tsp lemon juice
1.27g
1 cup spinach
30g
1 oz almonds
27g
1 tsp olive oil
4.50g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- If you're using fresh peas, blanch them by boiling them in water for about 2-3 minutes until they are bright green and tender, then quickly drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. If you're using frozen peas, simply thaw them in a bowl of cold water and drain.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold running water, then drain and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
- If your almonds are whole, you may choose to chop them or slice them for easier eating.
2. Mix the Salad:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas and spinach.
- Add the almonds to the bowl, dispersing them evenly throughout the mix.

3. Dress the Salad:
- Drizzle the lemon juice and olive oil over the salad.
- Toss the salad gently to ensure that the lemon juice and olive oil are evenly distributed throughout.
4. Season (Optional):
- Taste the salad and season with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the salad to serving plates or a large serving bowl.
- Enjoy immediately while the ingredients are fresh and crisp!

Tips:

- For an added burst of flavor, consider toasting the almonds before adding them to the salad.

- If you prefer, you can blanch the peas briefly in boiling water for 2-3 minutes before cooling them in an ice bath for a vibrant green color and tender-crisp texture.

- Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or feta cheese to customize the salad to your taste.

- To enhance the flavor, you can add a pinch of salt and pepper to the lemon juice and olive oil mixture before tossing it with the salad.

This Crisp Green Pea & Almond Spinach Salad is not only easy to prepare but also a perfect example of how simple ingredients can create a delicious and nutritious meal. Whether you're serving it as a light lunch or a refreshing side, this salad is sure to leave you feeling satisfied and energized.
