Scale
Salad Ingredients
- 100g sugar snap peas
- small handful of parsley, roughly chopped
- 60g rocket leaves
- 50g feta, crumbled
- 450g leftover rice with prawns
- 25g toasted flaked almonds
Dressing Ingredients
- ½ lemon, zested and juiced
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the Sugar Snap Peas: Remove the tough strings from the sugar snap peas using a peeler. Bring a pan of water to a boil and tip in the peas. Cook for 1 minute, then drain and immediately run them under cold water. Quickly transfer them into a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process. Set aside. (Alternatively, keep the peas raw if preferred.)
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest and juice, Dijon mustard, honey, and olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper, then divide the dressing between two small containers to pack separately.
- Assemble the Salad: Drain and thoroughly dry the sugar snap peas. In a large bowl, add the peas, chopped parsley, rocket leaves, crumbled feta, and leftover prawn rice. Toss everything well to ensure it is evenly coated with the dressing.
- Pack the Salad: Divide the mixed salad evenly between two large containers. Sprinkle with toasted flaked almonds for added crunch.
- Serving: When ready to eat, drizzle the lemon Dijon dressing over the salad and enjoy a fresh, flavorful meal.
Notes
- You can leave the sugar snap peas raw if you prefer a crunchier texture.
- To toast flaked almonds, dry roast them in a pan over medium heat until golden and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
- This salad works well for meal prep and is great using leftover prawn rice.
- Adjust honey in the dressing for sweetness according to your taste.
