Do you make it? Do you eat it? I'm looking at various cold salad recipes
since it would appear that we are going to have a warmish if not hot summer,
despite what the various Almanacs said. And I can't get enough of that Just
Mayo! I discovered that they sell two different kinds. With preservatives
and without. I bought without today. It was the only kind that Central
Market sold. That company also sells Just Cookies and claims they are
allergy friendly and yet they make peanut butter ones. What? But I
digress.

I have only ever had pea salad twice. The first time was at some little
place upstairs in Leavenworth WA. I want to say that it was a tea shop.
Husband (we were not married at the time) was not impressed as it was pretty
foo foo and had small portions of everything. I can't remember what I had
with it, but the pea salad was divine! Then I had it at a work potluck.

So... So far I have found two recipes that would work for me. The first
one contains white corn, yellow corn, cucumbers, onions, pimentos, tomatoes,
mayo and of course peas! I would have to leave the tomatoes out as Angela
hates tomatoes in most things and husband isn't partial to them. Both will
eat salsa and pico de gallo. Also ketchup. Go figure. I don't know what
it is about tomatoes. I know countless people who say that they hate them
and yet they do actually eat them in some things. I figure I can just put a
small amount of chopped tomato in my portion.

The next one is very simple. Some kind of cooked pasta, peas, small amount
of chopped onion and mayo.

I am thinking that one with bacon would also be good. Saw one that called
for those seasoned almond slices for salad toppings and the woman who posted
it claimed that everyone thought it had bacon in it. I might just make that
one and swap some bacon for the almonds since Angela and I can't have them.

Oh and then there was the Harlequin salad. It actually looks pretty nasty
but I love the ingredients which are mainly beets and peas. You do need to
see the pic of this to get it in its full glory. Hope you have a strong
stomach! And I kept looking through it saying to myself, "Where's the
dill?" Oh duh! Mom Dill's... Here is the recipe.

So... What kind of pea salad do you like? Or make?

When I make pea salad, it's all about the peas - it doesn't have much
else in it, no egg, no corn, no cheese: it's peas, onion, mayo, some
fresh dill or mint and mayo (possibly mixed with a little sour cream).
Bacon is optional AFAIC, but that's what will get my husband to eat it
and not complain.

This recipe is close enough. I'd skip the celery and add fresh herbs.

This isn't cold Julie. However take it whatever way you want. My mum does roughly the same with peas as she does with spinach. Garlicky white sauce and sour cream. She also adds onions. Very tasty. Would it be good cold?

Would be a lot better made with frozen peas, just thawed, not cooked.
I like this one:

I often add frozen peas to many salads, works well in marinated bean
salads, great potato salad too.

This recipe is my favorite, and I am not a big fat of English peas.

English Pea Salad


1 large green pepper, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cups celery, chopped
1 (15 ounce) can baby green peas (Le Sesueur brand)
1 cup green onion, chopped
1 (4 ounce) jars diced pimentos, drained
1 (11 ounce) cans white shoepeg corn ( Green Giant Brand preferred)

Dressing

1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup sugar ( or substitute Splenda)
1/4 cup oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried dill

Directions

In a large bowl with a good top that seals, combine all of the
vegetables and toss to combine.
In a seperate jar or bowl, mix together dressing ingredients.
Pour dressing onto salad and mix together. Place tight fitting top on
bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
While salad is in the refrigerator the 2 hours, reach in about every 30
minutes or so and give the bowl a shake upside down to help the dressing
cover all the veggies.
Serve cold with a slotted spoon.

But to elevate these and any other salads to fine dining level, just add lots of
oil and salt.

My favorite is very simple. You will need a bag of frozen peas, fresh works well too, green onions, and sliced green olives-just plain green olives, not pickled, mayonaise, salt and pepper. Mix frozen peas right out of the bag, sliced green onions, sliced green olives and a couple of spoons of mayo, add salt and pepper to taste. I think adding crumbled bacon would be delicious.
