Method
- Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Brush the spring onions with olive oil and griddle for 5 mins, turning, so each side is charred and tender. Transfer to a plate and halve widthways; set aside.
- Boil the peas for 2 mins, then drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Whisk the dressing ingredients in a small bowl, then season.
- Put the watercress, radishes, charred spring onions and peas in a large bowl. When ready to serve, pour over the dressing and toss to coat. Pile onto a serving plate and top with the crumbled feta and mint leaves.
