This salad is great to make for a cookout or any dinner when the temperatures are balmy (such as it is where I live, in Southeast Georgia). Goes well with an Herb Grilled Fish or Chicken, even Burgers! If you have fresh herbs, such as the dill and chives in your herb garden, this is a great recipe to utilize what you have & the freshness of it, makes it even tastier. Ingredients:
10 ounces frozen peas, thawed & drained |
3/4 cup sour cream |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 cup finely shredded medium to sharp cheddar cheese (i prefer the sharp) |
3/4 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tbsp. freshly chopped dill) |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives |
2 large green onions, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce (more or less, depending on taste) |
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper |
1 pinch sea salt |
Directions:
1. Place frozen peas into a colander in the sink & run under luke warm water over them until completely thawed, then drain thoroughly. Combine peas & chopped green onions (reserve about 1 tablespoons Of the dark green portion of the chopped green onion to dress salad with before serving).
2. In a separate bowl, combine the sour cream, mayo, pinch of sea salt, black pepper, dill weed, lemon juice, chives & hot sauce well. Add the sour cream mixture to the peas & onions, as well as adding the shredded cheese - mix until equally combined. Cover salad & refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour. Upon serving the salad, sprinkle a handful more of the cheese along with the remaining chopped green onion & serve. Recipe can be made a day prior to serving - serve well chilled.
