Pea and Rice Salad image

Chef Dee has a pea salad recipe that I was about to try but I don't use Miracle Whip. As I kept changing things, it became a different recipe. So, thanks for the inspiration, Dee. Here's my take...

Categories     Rice

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup green peas, fresh or frozen (thawed*)
1/4 cup scallion, white and green parts, diced
1/2 cup celery, diced (peeled**)
2 cups white rice, steamed (can use brown rice)
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1/4 cup monterey jack cheese (or other yellow sharp)
1/4 cup mozzarella cheese
lettuce (your choice of type)

Steps:

  • Keep rice at room temperature while cooling. Do not refrigerate or it will clump together.
  • Cut Jack cheese into short strips.
  • Grate Mozzarella cheese.
  • When rice is completely cooled, mix all the ingredients together.
  • Use the lettuce to line the serving plate.
  • Pile salad in mound.
  • Serve at room temperature.
  • If the weather is warm, add mayo no more then 1/2 hour ahead of serving.
  • * If using frozen peas, make sure to drain the water before adding to salad.
  • ** Peel the celery just like a carrot. It removes the stringy part.

This salad was a bit too bitter for my taste. I think it would have been better with less arugula.

This salad was a bit too sour for my taste. I think it would have been better with less lemon juice in the dressing.

I found this salad to be too sweet. I think it would have been better with less sugar in the dressing.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with a more flavorful dressing.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover rice. I also love that it's a make-ahead dish, so I can have a healthy lunch or dinner ready to go when I'm short on time.

I'm not a big fan of peas, but I really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced and the salad was very refreshing. I would definitely make it again.
