Gigi's English Pea Salad
You may possibly be wondering why "English" peas
are specified here,
but only if you aren't a Southerner! When we say "peas", we're
referring
to black-eyed peas (or crowder peas, purple-hull peas, etc.) You know, it's
sort
of like the reason we say "snow skiing". Naturally, "skiing" refers
to
water skiing. What else? [MG]
Two 10-ounce packages frozen tiny
peas, thawed
or
4 cups fresh tiny peas, blanched for
2 minutes and chilled
1/2 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup minced red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup olive oil
24 Boston lettuce leaves
16 slices pimiento
In a bowl combine peas, with cheese, 2
tablespoons lemon juice minced red onion. In a small bowl combine 1 tablespoon lemon juice
and salt and pepper
to taste. Stir in mayonnaise. Add olive oil in a stream, beating, and
beat the
dressing until it is combined well.
Arrange 3 Boston lettuce leaves on each of 8
salad plates, sprinkle each
serving with 1 1/2 teaspoons of the dressing, or to taste, and
divide the pea
mixture among the plates. Garnish each salad with 2 slices of pimiento.
How retro is that?!?!? Just gotta love it!
