Sarah's green pea and apple salad

My daughter (ten years old at the time) and I once made this really good salad. She had been growing green peas in the garden as a project, and when harvest time came she had a really big job to pick the peas, and of course to shell them. She worked at it very seriously until at last she had a big bowl of fresh, soft green peas. She brought them to me and said "Dad, these are so nice that it seems a real pity to cook them. Can't we do something different?" And we did - I peeled a couple of fresh apples and diced them really small, to pea size, mixed it all together and sprinkled some lemon juice over it all with a couple of fresh mint leaves as a garnish. It was a very hot day so we had a meal of fruit and cold meats, with our fresh pea and apple salad. Really good and it's become a regular family favourite.
