Field Salad with Snow Peas, Grapes, and Feta

As most of you all know, I love Feta cheese!  I don’t know a single recipe with Feta that I don’t like.  Here is a recipe for a Field Salad with snow peas, grapes, and feta.  It comes from Cooking Light:  Cooking Through the Seasons cookbook, and is very healthy, as the cookbook name suggests.

My mom and I decided to make this salad for our Sunday afternoon meal of steak, baked potatoes, and fruit.  This Field Salad was colorful, flavorful, and the dressing was delicious with just a touch of orange juice.  The snow peas add that “crunch” you need in a salad, but if you are not a big fan of those vegetables, I would recommend substituting a red onion for that tart and crunchy taste to contrast with the sweet, juicy grape halves.  I think you could even add a handful of toasted pecans.  Yum yum!

We all loved this salad, and vowed to make it very soon again.  Enjoy!
