Pea Salad Recipe

 

This recipe is all about tailoring the flavors to your taste, so feel free to adjust the ingredients as you see fit!

Ingredients:

• 3 cups cooked green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 3 boiled eggs (slice a few for garnish, dice the rest)
• 1/4 cup diced purple onion
• 1 cup mayonnaise (add more if needed)
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Optional: Cooked and chopped bacon (either mix in or sprinkle on top)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peas: If using frozen peas, cook them according to the package instructions, then drain and let them cool. If using fresh peas, cook them until tender, drain, and cool.
2. Boil the Eggs: Boil the eggs, then cool them in cold water. Peel the eggs and slice a few pieces for garnish. Dice the remaining eggs.
3. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cooled peas, diced eggs, and diced purple onion.
4. Add Mayonnaise: Stir in the mayonnaise until everything is well-coated. If it seems too dry, add more mayonnaise to reach your desired consistency.
5. Season: Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting as necessary.
6. Optional Bacon: If you’re adding bacon, you can either mix it in with the salad or sprinkle it over the top as a garnish.
7. Garnish and Serve: Garnish the salad with the reserved egg slices and, if desired, more bacon on top.
8. Chill: For best flavor, chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
