Classic Pea Salad

Classic Pea Salad - served as a simple dish with many dinners for years upon years.  I love the simplicity of a good side salad . . .sweet peas, sharp cheddar cheese, crisp red onion . .easy peasy (all puns intended).  Great with almost anything, but truthfully - I'm serving it with fish tonight!


Classic Pea Salad
Serves 4 as a Side Dish

Ingredients:
1 - 15 oz Can Peas - I prefer Le Sueur Sweet Peas
1/2 Cup Diced Red Onion
1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon Milk
Salt & Pepper

Instructions:
Step 1:   In a medium sized bowl, combine the diced red onion, shredded cheese, milk and mayonnaise.  
Step 2:  Drain the peas really well and discard the juice.  Add peas to the bowl of onion/cheese.  Stir very gently so you do not mash the peas!  Season with salt and pepper to your desire.

Serve!  Store in the fridge if you have leftovers.

Optional:  Add a half cup of cooked, crumbled bacon for a real treat!
