Tips:
- Fresh ingredients always yield the best results, so choose the freshest peas, crispy celery, sweet red onion, and aromatic fresh mint you can find.
- Finely dicing the vegetables ensures they blend well with the dressing and don't overpower the salad.
- For a creamy pea salad, mash or puree a cup of cooked peas and add them to the dressing. You can also add crumbled feta, grated Parmesan, or crumbled bacon for an extra layer of flavor.
- To make your pea salad a complete meal, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu. You can also add quinoa or rice for a heartier salad.
- Leftover pea salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
