Refreshing English Pea Salad

July 6, 2021 by Karen Giebel Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

In the long, hot summers up here in the Back of the Beyond in Ferry County, Washing, Sparky and I are vegetable salad fiends! They are cool, refreshing, satisfying and made with our home grown veggies, nothing can taste better. We’ve had a horrible heat wave for the past two weeks and trying to keep cool and minimize cooking is my plan and goal. I have been making this salad since the 80’s and no, I am not caught in a time warp. It truly is that delicious! If made with fresh peas, I par boil them for two minutes. If made with frozen peas, just thaw them and carry on.  Make six generous servings.

This is what we’ll need.

Refreshing English Pea Salad

The rich, fresh green taste of English Peas, combined with a few simple ingredients makes a delectable, easy to prepare, salad or side dish. Nothing complicated. Crunchy celery, sweet pickle, a bit of savory pimento and the creaminess of hard boiled eggs. The only cooking involved is hard cooking the eggs which can be done 1-2 days in advance. Made with ingredients you may have on hand, this will go together in a flash.

Yes, the heat here has been brutal so I am up and out well before dawn trying to get outside chores done before the heat kicks in. I try not to complain as our winters are 6-7 months long and summer is too short. I thank you for stopping by today and I ask you to visit my website at :www.the journey girl.
