MACARONI AND CHEESE PEA SALAD
Made from boxed macaroni&cheese dinner. The cheese/macaroni mixture gives this a unique twist to typical macaroni salad. I've never made it from homemade cheese & macaroni, but I imagine it would work fine. Sometimes I use leftover macaroni & cheese dinner and adjust the rest of the ingredients accordingly. This is one of our quick and easy family favorites. Enjoy!!

Tips:
- Select Fresh Peas: Use fresh, plump, and tender green peas for the best flavor and texture. Avoid using frozen or canned peas, as they may not have the same vibrant taste.
- Blanch the Peas: Blanching the peas helps preserve their color, flavor, and nutrients. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the peas, and cook for 2-3 minutes. Immediately transfer the peas to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Choose High-Quality Cheese: Opt for good quality, flavorful cheese that complements the peas. Cheddar, Parmesan, feta, and goat cheese are popular choices.
- Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or dill add a burst of flavor to the salad. Chop them finely and toss them into the salad just before serving.
- Make a Tangy Dressing: A simple vinaigrette dressing made with olive oil, vinegar (such as balsamic or apple cider vinegar), Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper is a classic choice for pea and cheese salad. You can also add a touch of honey or maple syrup for a hint of sweetness.
- Add Crunch: Incorporate some crunchy elements like chopped walnuts, almonds, or croutons to add texture and contrast to the salad.
- Serve Immediately: Pea and cheese salad is best served fresh. The peas and herbs can lose their vibrancy and flavor if left to sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Pea and cheese salad is a refreshing, flavorful, and versatile dish that's perfect for picnics, potlucks, or light lunches.
