Want recipe for a pea salad
I use to have a great recipe for pea salad and I can't find it. It came from Southern Living magazine @29 yrs ago.
Would anyone have one they would share with me? |
The only one I know is the one my mother had. I don't have the complete recipe as far as quantities because Mom didn't write them down, but I will try. She took a can of green peas (drained). she would dice up 2 or 3 slices of Velveeta cheese, add a small amount of celery, an apple (diced) and one medium dill pickle (diced). Once this was all ready, she added mayonaisse and a little sprinkle of sugar. It was delicious. Good luck.

I picked this up from the Food Network:
Baby Spinach leaves Peas (Frozen is fine) Store Bought Pesto Toasted Pine Nuts |
This recipe is from Southern Living April 1984
Cheddar-Pea Salad 1 (16-ounce) can small English peas, drained 1 cup cubed Cheddar cheese 1/2 cup chopped celery 1/4 to 1/2 cup sliced pimento-stuffed olives 1 hard-cooked egg, chopped 1 tablespoon grated onion 1/4 cup mayonnaise Combine all ingredients; mix well. Cover salad and chill at least 1 hour. Yield: 4 servings. By Edna Mae Gibson, Marietta, Ga. The November issues has a three pea salad recipe. Do you remember some of the ingredients? A layered pea salad recipe that I have tried and love is "Grandma Johnson's layered salad" at http://southerncookinglight.com/2011/11/23/grandma-johnsons-layered-salad-2/ |
My daughter does a simple but tasty chick pea salad. I don't know if that qualifies but here it is. This salad is best refrigerated for a couple of hours before serving.
4 coloured peppers sliced and chopped (2 inch pieces approx.) 1 red onion halved and sliced thin The florets from a broccoli (or half a cauliflower if perferred) 2 cans of drained chick peas Toss all the ingredients and add Italian Oil and Vienegar Dressing to taste You can substitute any other raw vegatables that you like in as well, sometimes carrots slices, sliced baby zucchini etc. |
How about this one. It's from Cooks.com and is pretty close to the recipe I liked and cannot find:

Spoon salad onto lettuce leaves, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. |
I got this recipe from my DMIL in TX, 40 yrs ago.
7 Layer Pea Salad -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Layer in an 8 x 8" pan or 9 x 13" if making for a crowd. The amounts are up to you but each layer should cover the one under it. Layer in the order given....top ingredient will be on the bottom. Lettuce, chopped Celery, sliced Onion, sliced 1T sugar Frozen peas, thawed Mayo sprinkled with sugar Sharp cheese, shredded Bacon Bits You might need to pack it down as you go. Forget about it on the Mayo level. Cover with plastic or foil and refrigerate at least 8 hours. This is so surprising. |
Do you recollect any of the ingredients?
