This delightful fresh pea recipe uses garden fresh green peas, lightly steamed and tossed with savory ingredients, to make a great hearty salad. It’s easy to make especially if you’ve frozen garden peas<\/a> in the spring. You can just take them out of the freezer, steam them, make the salad, chill for at least an hour, and dinner is ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fresh Pea Recipe: Pea Salad<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a fresh pea<\/a> recipe (or a recipe in which you can use frozen green peas instead?) This recipe for pea salad uses savory ingredients to balance out the hearty peas for a filling side dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Salad Side Dishes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our family loves a simple summer meal consisting of a main courses and several side salads. I might grill up some hamburgers or hot dogs and serve side salads including potato salad<\/a>, macaroni salad, beet salad, three-bean salad, or cucumber salad. I switch the salad side dishes around so that I can make several a week and we aren’t bored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best part of this meal is that it is a great time-saver on nights when I have to work late. Hot dogs take about 5 minutes to grill as do hamburgers on my George Foreman grill. Steak takes slightly longer but it’s also fast. I make the salads in the morning so that by the time dinnertime rolls around, they are well chilled. I just have to grill the meat and pull the salads out of the fridge. Voila! Instant supper.<\/p>\n\n\n

Recipe Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A quick note about this recipe: you can easily substitute frozen green peas for fresh green peas. I had garden peas in the freezer. I defrosted two cups, cooked them lightly, and mixed up the salad. You can do the same with store-bought frozen green peas.<\/p>\n\n\n
