2 For lemon dressing, whisk ingredients in a bowl, season to taste and set aside.
3 Combine peas, cabbage, radish, herbs, chilli and half the parmesan in a large bowl and toss to combine. Add lemon dressing, season to taste and mix until cabbage begins to wilt (1-2 minutes). Adjust seasoning and serve salad scattered with remaining parmesan.
