- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
- If you're using frozen peas, cook them according to the package directions, then rinse under cold water to quickly cool them.
- To a small mixing bowl, add the yogurt, mayo, dill, chives, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Whisk together until all of the ingredients are evenly incorporated into a relatively smooth dressing.
- To a large salad bowl, add the cucumbers, peas, sugar snap peas, and radishes, and feta.
- Top with the dressing, to taste, then toss to combine. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
PRO TIP: To make sure your vegetables are sliced to the same thickness, we suggest using a mandoline. Just be careful, it's very easy to slice your hand, so we always use a cut-proof glove or a hand guard!
You'll want to store this salad in an airtight container in the fridge, where it will keep for about 3 days. However, this salad definitely tastes best within the first 24 hours. After that, the vegetables will start to lose their crispness.
