WES' SUPER AWESOME PEA SALAD



Wes' Super Awesome Pea Salad image

I got this recipe from my buddy Wes which was a dish that his grandmother always made. People are sometimes afraid to try this 'cause the ingredients may seem strange, but I'm telling you, it's AWESOME! And once they try it they can't get enough. Also, don't be afraid of the canned peas, they really do work better than fresh or frozen. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled for larger groups. I hope you enjoy!

3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

  • This can be served right away or left to sit for a couple hours. It tends to get runny if left to sit too long though.

Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the peas and immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of ingredients: This pea salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Feel free to add other ingredients, such as chopped celery, carrots, red onion, or hard-boiled eggs.
  • Make it ahead of time: Pea salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for potlucks or picnics.
