Auntie E’s Cool Pea Salad

pea salad

It feels like fall is in the air, and I can hardly wait for this favorite time of year. I love the cooler temps, the changing leaves, the clothes, football and pumpkin spice. But before I put summer completely in the books, I wanted to share one last warm-weather recipe courtesy of my Aunt Eyvon in Blue Jay Hollow.

While we were visiting Arkansas this summer, my Auntie E brought over a cool pea salad that was completely addictive and insanely easy to make. Last week while I was grocery shopping I suddenly had a hankerin’ for the yummy green stuff so I gave her a call in the middle of the aisle and asked her to hand over the recipe right then and there (yup, as easy as I remember). Needless to say, I whipped up a batch of this tasty pea salad as soon as I put away my groceries and I didn’t share a single bite with my boys (they don’t like peas), so it was a win-win for me, baby!

So here’s the recipe for this tasty cold salad; and although it seems like a summer dish, don’t think for a minute that I won’t be making another batch well into October.
