Aunt E’s Old Fashioned English Pea Salad

IMG_1542

This is another of my dear Aunt E’s wonderful, but simple, recipes.  Great for a working family on a weeknight.  As a child, I ate it, never questioning the peas.  I think your children will enjoy it as much as I did.

For this salad, you will need:

1 can (15 ozs) of English or sweet peas, drained
1/4 cup chopped onion, yellow or white
1/2 cup mild cheddar cheese, cubed in 1/4 inch squares

This recipe brings back lots of memories.  This pea salad served with a thin slice of ham on Sunday after church takes me back to wonderful times with my family when I was growing up.  I hope this recipe becomes a staple for your family meals.

Enjoy!
