GARDEN FRESH BLACK-EYED PEA SALAD
Yet another Black-eyed pea salad. I like this one because it uses things I can grow in our tough climate. When the pickle worms nail the cukes in early July I just leave 'em out & the rest is still from our garden. I use fresh frozen black-eyed peas until the fresh black eyed peas come in later in the summer. Wear gloves when seeding & mincing Habanero pepper. If using dried black eyed peas be sure to soak in water to cover for 1 hour or overnight before cooking. Allow an hour for the flavors to marry before serving at room temp - better the next day!

GARDEN PEA SALAD
I have had this many times over the years at family reunions and church meals. Paula Deen even has the recipe on her site on FoodTV. Can be doubled or tripled. Simple to make, easier to love!!! Edited to add: I have now tried this with frozen peas as recommended by the reviewers! Frozen peas are the way to go. It has better flavor and texture! But again, use whatever is your preference!

FRESH GARDEN PEA SALAD
This recipe is my version of Luby's pea salad. My daughters always ask for it at family bbq's. My british side of the family are now new fans of it, as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Fresh peas work great for this recipe. Just blanch them and then dry them well. Don't be concerned if the dressing seams skimpy at first. The salad will get moist as it sits.

PEA SALAD
Peas straight from the freezer retain their crisp exterior and soft, creamy interior in this simple-to-make salad. For a subtler onion flavor, soak onion slices in cool water, then thoroughly drain before folding into the mayonnaise mixture.

- Make a Flavorful Dressing: Use a simple vinaigrette or a creamy dressing made with Greek yogurt or mayonnaise for a flavorful and tangy addition.
- Add Crunchy Elements: Incorporate chopped nuts, seeds, or croutons for added texture and crunch.
