The Cheapest and Easiest Pea Salad
This simple to make sale will be the one your friends and family talk about.
Ingredients
Salad
- 2 cups frozen peas
- 1 bunch finely chopped mint
- 1 bunch finely chopped parsley
- 1 finely chopped red onion
- 1 tbsp salt
Dressing
- ½ cup plain yoghurt
- 1 lemon juiced
Instructions
Salad
- Rinse and dry your herbs. I like to place my herbs inside a clean tea towel and pat them dry.
- Finally dice the red onion and sprinkle with the salt. Toss and set aside. This will help reduce the bitter taste and sweeten the onion.
- Prepare the rest of your ingredients.
- Place the frozen peas into a medium sized bowl.
- Add the red onion, mint, and parsley.
- Prepare the dressing.
Dressing
- Place the yoghurt and lemon juice in a small bowl and combine (If you feel you want the dressing to be a little smoother, you could add a little apple cider vinegar to get the consistency you are after)
- Combine the dressing and salad. Keep refrigerated until you serve it.
