Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups Green Peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 small Red Onion (finely diced)
  • 1/2 cup Vegan Mayo or Cashew Cream
  • 1 tsp Smoked Paprika
  • 1/4 cup Sunflower Seeds (toasted)
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Dill (chopped)
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Sea Salt & Black Pepper (to taste)

Method
 

  1. Prepare the peas: thaw frozen peas or blanch fresh peas.
  2. Toast the sunflower seeds in a skillet over medium heat.
  3. In a bowl, mix the vegan mayo, lemon juice, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper until smooth.
  4. Dice the red onion and soak it in cold water for 5 minutes, then pat dry.
  5. Combine drained peas, diced onion, and dill with the dressing in the bowl.
  6. Fold in the toasted sunflower seeds, adjusting seasoning as needed.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Ensure peas are dry before mixing to avoid watery salad. Add seeds just before serving for crunch.
