Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
Fill a large bowl with ice water.
When the water boils, add the peas; blanch, stirring once or twice, until they' re bright green, about 1 minute for frozen and 2 to 3 minutes for fresh.
Immediately drain; transfer to the ice water; let sit until cooled, just 1-2 minutes; drain again.
Measure 1/2 c. cooked peas; transfer to a blender or mini food processor. Add the dill, mint, yogurt, and a pinch of salt and a few grinds of fresh black pepper.
Zest the entire lemon into the blender; cut the lemon in half; squeeze in some of the juice from one of the halves. Blend until smooth. Taste; add more lemon juice, salt and pepper.
Transfer the remaining drained peas to a serving bowl along with the shallot; drizzle on the dressing, to taste. Toss to coat.
Serve immediately, garnished with the feta cheese, radishes, and fresh herbs.
6 servings, 1/2 c each.
