Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 head lettuce, torn into bite size pieces

1 (9 ounce) bag frozen peas, thawed by running under hot water, then blotted with paper toweling
1 -1 1/4 cup salad dressing
2 tablespoons sugar

  • Note: Sometimes I substitute 1-(8 oz.) can of well drained bamboo shoots for the sliced cucumbers. Just be sure to blot the bamboo shoots with paper toweling before placing them on the salad.

Tips:

  • For a crisp and refreshing salad, use fresh vegetables.
  • If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables.
  • Be sure to drain and rinse canned vegetables before using them in the salad.
  • To add extra flavor to the salad, you can use a variety of herbs and spices.
  • For a creamy and tangy dressing, use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar.
  • If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can use a vinaigrette made with olive oil and vinegar.
  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked beans in the salad.
  • If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking them.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, prepare it up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
