Macaroni and Cheese Pea Salad image

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!!

PEA - CHEESE SALAD



PEA - CHEESE SALAD image

..

Provided by Kathleen Riemer

Categories     Pasta Salads

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 c. shelled peas or 1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen peas or 1 (17 oz.) can peas
1 c. cubed cheddar cheese
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/4 c. chopped celery
2 tbsp. chopped onion
2 tbsp. chopped pimento
1/3 c. mayonnaise or salad dressing
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. bottled hot pepper sauce
1/8 tsp. pepper
noodles, cooked

Steps:

  • 1. Cook fresh of frozen peas, drain and cool. Drain canned peas. In large bowl combine peas, cheese cubes, hard-cooked eggs, celery, onion and pimento. Combine mayonnaise or salad dressing, salt, hot pepper sauce and pepper. Add to pea mixture; toss to combine. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Add noodles of choice might have to adjust mayo to own preference

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. With its combination of sweet peas, creamy cheese, tangy dressing, and crunchy add-ins, it's a crowd-pleasing salad that's sure to impress. Experiment with different cheeses, herbs, and dressings to create your own unique variation of this classic salad. Enjoy the delightful burst of flavors and textures in every bite!
