How To Make two pea salad

  • Step 1
    Dump green peas & chick-peas in a collander. Pick out pieces of chick pea shell and rinse under cold water until peas are almost thawed. Drain well.
  • Step 2
    Mix dressing ingredients in a large bowl. Add vegetables & stir gently to coat with dressing.
  • Step 3
    Cover & chill for at least 3 hours prior to serving. Best if made a day in advance.
  • Step 4
    This is the basic recipe. Other things I've added: chopped raw zucchini, chopped raw broccoli stems, diced celery, diced cooked meat. Things not to add: kidney beans (too sweet) raw mushrooms or olives (turn dressing gray)
