Cooking Tips

• To make this dish even more flavorful, you can add some chopped mint or dill to the salad.
• If you don't have sumac, you can substitute it with lemon zest for a similar tangy flavor.
• For a creamier texture, you can crumble some goat cheese or ricotta instead of feta.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served fresh, but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To serve, you can enjoy it as a side dish with grilled meats or fish, or as a light lunch with some crusty bread.
• If you prefer a warm salad, you can quickly sauté the blanched peas in a little olive oil before tossing them with the other ingredients.
