Three Pea Salad Recipes

OLD-FASHIONED PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients together gently.
• Chill, if you want, and serve.

PEA SALAD

Steps:

• Remove peas from freezer and place in a colander and allow to slightly thaw while preparing the dressing.
• In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
• Add the peas, bacon, cheddar cheese, and red onion and fold/stir to combine.
• Chill the salad for at least one hour before serving. The salad can be made up to 3 days in advance.

THREE PEA CHICKEN SALAD

Steps:

• Place the tarragon sprigs, chicken, the halved shallot, and the smashed garlic into a medium saucepan. Add water to cover by 1 inch and season with salt and pepper. Bring the water to a boil; remove the pan from heat, cover, and let it stand until the chicken is just cooked through. This takes 15 to 25 minutes depending on the size of your chicken breast. If I have a large one, I'll usually let it actually boil for 3 or 4 minutes before removing from the heat.
• Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it cool. Shred or dice the chicken.
• While the chicken is poaching, whisk the yogurt, oil, minced shallot, and minced garlic in a small bowl. Season the dressing with salt and pepper to taste.
• Combine all the peas in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, dressing, minced tarragon, parsley, chives, lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice; toss to coat. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice, if desired. Serve spooned over toasted bread and/or lettuce leaves.

THREE PEA STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then stir-fry garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sugar snaps and snow peas and stir-fry until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Add frozen peas and stir-fry until hot, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in soy sauce and sesame oil. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with salt.
