My mother made this simple yet different pea salad for picnics or for dinner on hot summer nights. Continuing her tradition, I made it to take to a small boat meet, the Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum and again to take to the Urbanna Small Craft Meet.
Salad:
- 4 Cups frozen organic peas partially thawed and patted dry on a clean dish towel
- 3/4 Cups organic pimentos diced
- 1 1/2 Cups grated organic grass fed cheddar cheese
Dressing:
- 1/4 Cup avocado oil mayonnaise
Adding the dressing - Freshly ground salt and pepper to taste
- Tabasco or similar hot sauce to taste
Instructions:
- Lightly toss the peas, pimentos and cheese in a large mixing bowl
- Mix the dressing adding just enough hot sauce to make it slightly picante to your taste
- Stir the dressing into the pea mixture
- Serve cold
