Victor’s Pea Salad…


 

If you have been with me for a while, you have heard me talk about my friends Cheryl and Victor. The salad today is something Victor threw together one year after Easter. I love this salad, it is simple to put together, easy to make, and can be made anytime of the year.

This perfect side dish or meal on a hot Spring evening.

The hardest part of this salad was trying to get the recipe from Victor. This was not because he did not want to give it to me. This was because he really didn’t know what he had put in the salad. The salad was created by throwing leftovers from Easter dinner in a bowl. I have played with the ingredients over the past few years and think I have recreated it.

Ingredients:

1 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

1 cup green peas, uncooked

½ cup ham, cubed

1 hardboiled egg (you can increase to 2 if you prefer, but I think it is too much)

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

¼ cup low or non-fat mayonnaise

Directions:

Toss the first 6 ingredients in a large bowl

Add mayonnaise by gently stirring into the salad, make sure to there are no clumps of mayonnaise. Refrigerate half hour before serving. Stir the salad before serving to re-coat the mayonnaise.
