QUICK & SIMPLE GREEN PEA & CHEDDAR SALAD
This is the simplest recipe for pea salad. My mom use to make this for us when we were growing up, now I make it for my family and everyone enjoys it. It only takes a few minutes to throw together, but adds a nice touch to many meals, especially bbq's and family gatherings. I prefer to make this with green onion, but I have used white onion, or even no onion, depending on what I have on hand. I hope you enjoy the recipe.

ASPARAGUS, GREEN PEA, AND EGG SALAD CROSTINI
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool baking sheet on rack. Set aside.
- Spread asparagus pieces on parchment-lined small baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
- While asparagus is baking, blanch peas. Fill a small saucepan half full with water. Bring to a boil. Add peas and let cook 1 minute until peas are bright green. Immediately drain peas in a strainer and run cold water over them. Shake off excess water and set aside.
- To make egg salad: cut hard-boiled eggs in half. Separate egg whites and yolks. Chop egg whites into 1/4-inch pieces and set aside. Put the egg yolks in a small-medium bowl. Add mayonnaise to the egg yolks and mix with a fork until smooth. Add salt and pepper and mix. Add chopped egg whites, peas, and cooled asparagus. Stir.
- Wash and gently pat dry basil leaves with a cloth or paper towel. To assemble, put 2 medium basil leaves on each baguette toast. Using two small spoons, place 1 to 2 tablespoons egg salad in the middle of the toast on top of the basil so the basil shows at either end. Garnish with smaller basil leaves.
- These crostini are best made just before serving, but can be made up to 2 hours in advance and kept refrigerated before serving.
- Tips
- Substitute frozen peas for fresh. Follow the recipe to blanch them.
- Try other garnishes on top of the egg salad: dried basil, paprika, red chili flakes, grated Parmesan cheese.

GREEN PEA AND PASTA SALAD
I started adding pasta to pea salad mainly to stretch the recipe when taking it to picnics. But it turned out to be a hit, and now it's how I usually do it. Feel free to adjust the quantity of mayonnaise and mustard to get the consistency you like. I think it's different every time I make it. I use regular Duke's mayonnaise, if...

Steps:
- 1. Rinse, drain, and thaw peas in a colander. While peas are thawing, cook pasta to al dente stage; drain and rinse pasta in cold water.
- 2. Gently toss together the peas, pasta, bacon, onion, cheese, and eggs (if used) in a large mixing bowl.
- 3. Combine dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Fold dressing gently into peas, combining well. Turn mixture into a clear glass serving dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until serving time, at least 30 minutes.
- 4. We used to make this with Velveeta cheese, but I find it difficult to work with due to its softer texture. You can also use mild cheddar, Swiss cheese, block American, or even pepper Jack. My family loves the sharp cheddar. You can also use shredded cheese if it's more convenient. I do like the small cubes cut the size of the peas, just for presentation.

F O C GREEN PEA SALAD
The recipe is from a friend of my sister Carol (FOC) and passed along to me. My sister made a triple batch to take into work on "tax day" as part of "bring in a lot of good food so we can at least eat well on April 15th even if we work til 11 pm" celebration.... and said there was a scant 1/2 cup left! (It made the very large Tupperware covered bowl full!) I can't wait to try it as it sounds perfect for spring and summer! (Prep time does not include chill time.)

- Mix together vegetables together and set aside.
- In a saucepan, mix oil, sugar, salt, pepper, water and vinegar and boil for 1 minute.
- Pour over vegetables and refrigerate over night.
- Stir before serving.
- NOTES: The original recipe calls for a cup of sugar but it can be adjusted to taste. Also, if substituting Splenda, you do not need to boil the marinade.
- NOTE 2: I made this to take to a luncheon/baby shower at work yesterday. I used 2/3 c Splenda instead of sugar and did not boil the dressing. Otherwise, I made as written. It was very easy to made, smelled wonderful, and tasted fantastic the next day. I saw several people going back for seconds! I have enough leftover for lunch today and am looking forward to it. I will definitely be making this recipe a lot this coming summer.
