Ingredients:
- 3 cups fresh picked early spring peas (or 3 cups frozen sweet peas thawed quickly in warm water) do not use canned peas
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese diced to about the same size as the peas (using shredded cheese will make the cheese soggy if the salad is not eaten just after making it)
- 2 tblsps. mayo (you can sub light or fat free)
Directions:
- Boil eggs
- While eggs are boiling, thaw frozen peas in lukewarm water for about 2 mins. or until thawed. When using fresh peas there is no need to cook them. If you like you can parboil them for a minute or two in boiling water, but fresh picked are great as they are
- Drain peas well. (I pour them onto an absorbent towel for a moment after draining)
- Place peas in medium size bowl.
- Add diced onions and diced cheese
- Dice boiled eggs finely and add to peas, onions and cheese.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss lightly.
- Fold in mayo gently so as not to squash the peas.
- Chill briefly and serve.
- NOTE:
- This dish holds well for a day or two and can be made ahead. If I plan on using it later, I wait until time to use it before I stir in the cheese, because I do HATE soggy cheese!
