Creamy English Pea Salad
This simple and easy to follow recipe for Creamy English Pea Salad is really a great side dish for any time of the year.
Creamy English Pea Salad is a dish I remember from my childhood. While we ate it mostly in the summer months at barbecues and backyard parties usually with grilled meats and kabobs, but it is a great side dish for any time of the year.
To fully enjoy this salad, it helps if you’re a fan of peas but doย know that some people (like me) who don’t usually eat peas, will often eat pea salad. I do not know why this phenomenon occurs, but it does! This is great with just about anything off the barbecue grill, so give it a try!
ย 
A traditional Pea Salad will usually beginย with frozen or canned peas, red onions, and a dressing of mayonnaise, sour cream, or a combination of the two and can easily be customized to your own liking with any add-ins you please. I like adding the fresh red onions and bits of cubed cheese but you can try any blend of ingredients you chose. I’ve even seen some varieties with bacon, so it’s really up to you.
