My friend Lisa gave me a recipe for Pea Salad some years ago and I like to make it now and again because it is so easy and so delicious. It features frozen peas and cashews in a delicate, creamy dressing. I love this concoction because the frozen peas (petite pois are the best) just need to be thawed out and then mixed with the other ingredients, so it's a great dish to bring to a party any time of the year. I played around with Lisa's recipe and omitted the cashews because of the nut-phobes in my family, so the photo below shows a variation of this versatile and elegant dish.
Our volunteer group needs some other recipes for this forthcoming cookbook, which is scheduled for release next holiday season. If you have an original recipe and photo to share, please consider submitting it to BloggerAid by February 12, 2009. You do not need to be a blogger or even a member of BloggerAid (but of course we welcome other BloggerAid buddies!) so feel free to click on the BloggerAid badge at the righthand side of The Crispy Cook or send me a comment or email to find out how you can help.
To get the recipe for this awesome salad you will have to buy the BloggerAid cookbook, so until then......

Sometimes simple is the best. I'm intrigued by the idea of cashews in it.
Larry adores peas (poor him, I don't eat them). I will look forward to your recipe and promise to make it for him. I finally remembered to buy rice chex so I could make him your yummy snack. Maybe tomorrow since I doubt I'll be going out. SNOW! Again!
Hi Rachel,
My pea salad uses peas, red onion, hard boiled eggs, mayo, shredded cheese and BACON! (Bacon in nearly my last guilty pleasure food!)
I'm hoping for my first snow day tomorrow.
Lovely picture Rachel and from the looks of it it looks healthy and I am sure delicious.
i love the colours that come off the screen - the photo gives off pastel blue-green-grey shades!
Yay! A healthy dish for the cookbook! I still have to submit mine :)
A very elegant dish - I like it.
