Spring Pea Salad with Curry Dressing

Spring Pea Salad with Curry Dressing

How often do we need a side salad and just chop up the same green lettuce and tomatoes? I love this vibrant, fresh, green pea salad as a change of pace.  I highly recommend trying it, and you can use a variety of dressing choices with this dish. 

2 cups sugar snap peas, trimmed and diagonally sliced 

1 tablespoon curry powder 

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1/4 cup mayonnaise

3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon fat-free milk

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 

1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (10-ounce) package frozen petite green peas, thawed 

3/4 cup red onion, very thinly sliced 

2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled (about 1/2 cup) 
1/3 cup torn fresh mint leaves (optional - this is a unique ingredient a not all large crowd members will like.) 

Directions: 

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add snap peas; cook 2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water; drain well. Set aside.

Combine curry and juice in a small bowl. Let stand 5 minutes. Add mayo, yogurt, milk, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk until thoroughly mixed. 

Combine snap peas, red onion, green peas, feta (and mint) in a large bowl. Add dressing; toss gently to coat.

Serve chilled.
