Pea salads can be made with fresh, dried, canned, or frozen peas and can be versatile with varied ingredients. A basic recipe includes mayonnaise, sweet pickle dressing, and sunflower seeds. Other types include chickpea and black-eyed pea salads with Tex-Mex or Greek flavors.
Several types of easy and delicious pea salads can be made with green, chicken, or black-eyed peas. Peas can be fresh, dried, canned or frozen. In general, a pea salad made with both fresh and frozen peas will be crunchier than those prepared with dried or canned varieties. Frozen peas don’t need to be cooked first; rather, they can thaw in the bowl with the other ingredients and help keep everything fresh, though salads should also be refrigerated. All the different pea salads are usually extremely versatile as the ingredients can be varied or substituted and nothing needs to be measured.
A basic pea salad can be made by adding ingredients such as chopped cucumber, chopped coleslaw, mayonnaise, some sweet pickle dressing, pepper, and some shelled sunflower seeds to frozen, raw, thawed, or lightly thawed peas. Once this concoction is well combined and chilled for several hours in the refrigerator, it’s ready to serve. One of the tastiest pea salads can be made with fresh tortellini or other stuffed pasta, Parmesan, pepper, and Italian salad dressing.
After fresh pasta filled with meat or cheese has been cooked and cooled, the Italian sauce should be tossed with it while it’s still hot. When the pasta and dressing have completely cooled, you can add the uncooked frozen peas. The mixture should be left to marinate in the refrigerator for several hours before mixing in a generous amount of grated Parmesan and pepper to taste, before serving.
Chickpeas, also called chickpeas, used in a pea salad can be delicious when other greens are added, as well as nuts, cheese, and dressing. For example, sliced celery, chopped green onion, peanuts and blue cheese dressing mixed with chickpeas and refrigerated before serving can serve as a basic recipe. If desired, crumbled cooked bacon or cooked shrimp could also be included in chickpea salads.
One of the most popular types of black-eyed pea salads is Tex-Mex cuisine which originates in the US state of Texas. Cubed Monterey Jack cheese, chiles, pecans, chopped onion, minced garlic, oil, vinegar, and fresh raw spinach are combined to create a basic Texas black-eyed pea salad. Another popular black-eyed pea salad gets a Greek flavor from its blend of crumbled feta cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, and minced garlic. Pepper and balsamic vinegar could also be used.
