Defrost frozen peas by placing them in a colander and pouring boiling water over them.

Let the peas sit to thaw, ensuring they remain cold and not heated through.

Add diced celery to the peas in the colander.

In a mixing bowl, crumble about 1/2 cup of cold goat cheese into the mixture.

Chop fresh parsley and add it to the bowl with the goat cheese.

Add fresh mint to the bowl; if using dried mint, let the salad sit for an hour or two to infuse the flavors.

Squeeze lemon juice into the bowl, being careful to avoid seeds.

Add salt to taste, adjusting based on the saltiness of the goat cheese.

Gently toss all ingredients together, being careful not to break up the goat cheese too much.

Taste the salad and adjust with more lemon juice or salt if needed.
