CURRIED PEA SALAD
Quick and easy recipe, great for get togethers..I ususally have most the ingredients on hand. You can use low fat mayo and half the almonds to lower the fat, but to go too skimpy on the almonds...they really help make the dish! Increase curry powder to taste. I received this from a coworker in Texas years ago and have made it ever since.
