Prep Time - 10 mins
Cook Time - 10-15 mins

Ingredients

  • 1 lemon, halved

    ½ cup Squeaky Gate extra virgin olive oil

    1 tsp Coles Dijon mustard

    1 tbsp Coles honey

    Coles black pepper

    Coles sea salt

    2 cups frozen peas, soaked in hot water to defrost

    1 head fennel, shaved thinly

    100 g Coles Greek feta

    1 bunch of mint, leaves picked

    1 bag baby spinach leaves

    ¼ cup pumpkin seeds, roasted

    2 kg Coles carisma potatoes

Method

  • On a griddle pan or BBQ, place the lemon halves cut side down and cook until charred all over.

    Peel and dice the potatoes and boil them in a pot until they are slightly soft. Set them aside in hot water to keep warm.

    In a mixing bowl, add the olive oil, mustard, honey, a pinch of black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Squeeze the juice from the charred lemons into the bowl. Whisk together until combined to create the dressing.

    In a large bowl, add the warm potatoes, peas, fennel, and baby spinach.

    Serve on a large platter and top it with mint leaves, toasted pumpkin seeds, and crumbled feta.
