Recipe of the Day: Cold Pea Salad

[AngelsWin.com]

Long warm summer days are perfect for chilled pea salad!

This recipe uses frozen peas, which you don’t even have to defrost, green onions, water chestnuts, and smoked almonds. The peas do thaw a bit, but they’re wonderful crunchy and cold too.

I first encountered this delightful salad at a friend’s potluck. It was one of the dishes that everyone went back for for seconds.

I’m not sure of the original source of the recipe, but since the recipes calls for Smokehouse Almonds, perhaps the almond company? It could easily be made with tamari almonds as well. You just want salty, crunchy, roasted almonds for this salad.

Replace the mayo with Greek yogurt and I would eat that.

I'm surprised there are no cherry tomato halves.

I was thinking a basil-oregeno vinegerette.

Foxpoint Seasoning from Penzy's Spices. Nothing but friggen goodness, works fabulous on anything vegetable related or drop a few pinches in your eggs. Without reading this recipe rather than making a dressing I'd take some oil and Foxpoint and it would all be good.
