Give Peas a Chance!

We had a cookout last Friday night and a friend of ours brought over a dish of pea salad. Seeing as how I consider myself a southern gal, you know that I will not turn my nose to anything of the pickled variety. This recipe VERY MUCH reminded me of my Mamaw's Three Bean Salad and, who knows, maybe your Granny, Nanny, Memaw, Mamaw or Nana has a recipe like this of her own.

Enjoy!

Pea Salad from Laura's Kitchen (I have no idea who Laura is, but, Laura, I thank you!)

1 can Le Sueur peas, drained

1 can shoepeg corn, drained

1 2oz. jar of pimentos, drained

1 cup finely chopped celery

1 cup finely chopped onion

Combine in a bowl and set aside.

3/4 cup of apple cider vinegar

3/4 cup sugar

1 tbsp. water

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. black pepper

Bring to a boil & cook for one minute. Cool and pour over pea salad mixture.

Chill and enjoy.


I would say that it makes about 8 good servings...there is actually still some leftover in the fridge. And, I don't see why you couldn't make this with fresh peas and/or fresh corn.
