QUICK & SIMPLE GREEN PEA & CHEDDAR SALAD



Quick & Simple Green Pea & Cheddar Salad image

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.

  • Cook the peas according to the package directions. Overcooking can make the peas mushy.
