Simple & Healthy Peas Salad with Herbs

Jump to Recipe

If you are looking for an easy and quick recipe for a delicious peas salad with herbs then here you are! This one will be definitely your favorite! You can use frozen vegetables and this is the secret tip for a “right in time” salad.

I used to serve it with my fish filet, my vegetarian burgers, and now is my special salad for my vegan steak. Perfect for cold and warm days, give it a try and you won’t lose!

Most of the time, I use frozen peas with carrots and corn, which I can find in almost every grocery shop. But if I don’t, I add canned corn. I always manage to have frozen vegetables in my freezer and some canned in my pantry, so I can use them any day at any time.

Recipe

Yield: 1 salad bowl

Prep Time: 10 min

Cooking Time: 15 min

Total Time: 25 min

Ingredients

  • 350gr frozen peas (with or without more vegetables as carrots and corn)
  • 1/2 cup canned corn, if you don’t use already frozen
  • 1 small red or white onion, sliced
  • 25 gr unsalted butter or virgin olive oil or coconut oil
  • 1/2 fresh lemon juice, or lime juice
  • 1 tbsp dill, fresh or dried
  • 1 tbsp parsley, fresh or dried
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

  1. Put half of your butter (or olive/ coconut oil) in your pan and put it in medium-high heat until it melts and gets hot.
  2. Rinse your frozen peas and vegetables with cold water for 1-2 minutes until they are defrosted.
  3. Add your sliced onion in the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add your peas (and vegetables) and the corn in the pan and stir them for 5 minutes.
  5. Now it’s time to add the rest of the butter, lemon, spices, and herbs and cook them for 5 more minutes.

And it’s ready! Minimum time with maximum yumminess!

Notes

  • Served: Served with
    • your vegan fillet,  
    • your fish or meat fillet,
    • tzatziki sauce and toasted bread with oregano and olive oil.
