Garden Pea Salad

20140425-092558.jpg.

Amy- Growing up our mother made this salad for us all the time. Suz and I have always loved it. It is so easy to make and tastes wonderfully.

This is what you are going to need-
16 oz frozen green peas
2 boiled eggs, chopped
15 cherub tomatoes, cut in half
4oz canned sliced mushrooms, drained
2 spring onion, diced
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
4 oz cheddar cheese, cut in small cubes
1/4 – 1/2 cup mayonnaise (we like a lot of mayo)
Celery salt to taste
Salt and pepper

What to do-
This is a very easy recipe. Place your peas in a boiler and add you enough water to cover peas. Boil them for a couple of minutes or until peas are tender. Drain and cool either by running cool water over or using an ice bath. Shake peas in colander to get the excess water off. Places peas in medium mixing bowl and add remaining ingredients. Bam! You got yourself a pretty and tasty side dish.

Not many people get overly excited about layered salad, but we sho nuff do. This recipe takes us back to our southern roots. It has been a family tradition to serve this at all of our holiday gatherings. Mom always used her trifle bowl to make this salad. It looks fabulous and it tastes even better.

Mama’s Layered Salad

Gather-

½ head Iceberg Lettuce, shredded
2 cups fresh Spinach
Salt And Pepper, to taste
6 boiled eggs, sliced
1 pound bacon, fried and chopped
1 pint grape tomatoes, sliced in half
1 bunch spring onion, chopped
1 13.25 can mushrooms, drained
2 cups medium sharp cheddar Cheese, grated
1 bag (16 Ounce) Frozen Peas, thawed and drained

What you need for the dressing:

1cup mayonnaise
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon Mrs. Dash
Fresh Dill, Chopped
(optional)

Let’s get to layering-

We love anything layered; that goes for salad too. Combine all of your ingredients for your dressing and set to the side. Get you a large trifle bowl or glass bowl out. Layer ½ of all of the ingredients in the order that we have them listed. End with the peas. Add the second layer and then top with the dressing. Pop in the fridge until ready to serve. Sprinkle with fresh dill (if you want to).
