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.
