Green Pea Salad

Green Pea Salad

Diana Rattray
This green pea salad is as pretty as it is flavorful, with bright green peas, shredded carrot, bell pepper, red onion, and celery. Serve this salad with any summer meal or cookout, or take it along to a potluck event or picnic. Make this a few hours in advance and chill thoroughly for best flavor.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh or frozen green peas, cooked just until tender, rinsed under cold water
  • 1 small carrot shredded
  • 1/2 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped, about 1 cup
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/2 cup light or regular ranch-style dressing
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried leaf oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Preparation:

In a large bowl, combine the cooked cooled peas with the chopped and shredded vegetables. In a measuring cup or small bowl combine the dressing, mayonnaise, and seasonings. Stir into the vegetables until well coated. Chill for a few hours before serving.
Serves 5 to 6.
