Fresh pea salad from the CSA

Here's a quick one, from the farmer's market to your plate.

You'll need some fresh shelled peas. Let's face it, you could stop here and be happy. But I blanched them in salted boiling water for two minutes, and then drained and shocked them under cold running water.

There were also some radishes hanging around, so slice them up, along with some parsley and basil.

Time for the dressing. Toasted and ground cumin, lime juice, a touch of honey, and some nam plan, whisked together and emulsified with olive oil.

Put all the ingredients together, along with some crumbled feta cheese.

Serve along with some smoked fish for a light dinner.
