Pea & Asparagus Soup with Feta, Mint & Pita Croutons; Greek Yogurt Vinaigrette and more...



With a bunch of asparagus sitting on my countertop, a bag of peas in my freezer, and mint growing out of control in my garden, I created this soup on a whim. To give it a Mediterranean twist, I added feta cheese and pita croutons, which add tangy flavor and delicious crunch to every spoonful. It's delicious hot, and even better chilled. 

 


This wonderfully light, tangy and creamy dressing is featured in the April/May (2015) issue of Fine Cooking and comes from chef Ana Sortun, who owns the celebrated Eastern Mediterranean restaurants Oleana and Sofra in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Sortun pairs the dressing with a Shredded Romaine, Arugula & Cucumber Salad but I can tell you it's delicious on just about anything, even grilled meats. I love it so much that I already bought Sortun's cookbook, Spice: Flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean, and am thinking about making a pilgrimage to Cambridge :)
