Pea Salad

Pea Salad is one of my favorite things to make. It's pretty easy, very tasty and is a great way to communicate love to my husband. Maybe other husbands aren't like mine but mine feels very loved when I make his favorite things. I have a collection of husband-loving recipes...some are things I make quite often, some are things I make on special occasions. Pea Salad is one that I make fairly often, mostly in the summer.

Anyway, like I said, it's pretty easy to make and it is very adaptable to what your family likes to eat. You just take peas (however much you want, you can easily make a large salad or just enough for your family) and boil them until they are tender (just a few minutes). Then drain them and put them in the fridge to cool. When they've cooled, add some onion (last night when I made this I used a Walla Walla Sweet onion...sometimes I use green onions, sometimes red...whatever you have is great), chunks of cheese (used cheddar last night, other cheeses are yummy too) and blend it all together with sour cream. I didn't have any bacon last night but crumbled bacon on top is REALLY yummy. I think it is best to mix it all together in the morning so the flavors can really blend together before you eat it. Like I said, easy, yummy and full of love...my favorite kind of recipe.
