Sugar Snap Pea Salad with Feta, Nigella Seeds, Pickled Shallots and Toasted Hazelnuts

Crisp and sweet, these sugar snaps are sliced lengthwise into little canoes so bits of briny crumbled feta and crunchy roasted hazelnuts get tucked away inside. Every bite is a springtime surprise! Make this salad into a more substantial lunch by tossing through some cooked jasmine rice, chopped poached chicken or grilled shrimp. If you have pea tendrils, add them at the end.
