I love recipes that prove delicious food does not need to be complicated. This cold pea salad with red onion has been on my table more times than I can count, especially when I want something fresh, quick, and flavorful. Sweet peas meet the gentle sharpness of red onion, all brought together with good olive oil and a squeeze of fresh lemon. It is bright, simple, and always a hit, whether served at room temperature for a casual lunch or chilled alongside a summer meal.

Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Bring salted water to a full boil and cook the frozen peas for 4 minutes until tender.
Drain them well and pass them under cold water to stop the cooking process.
Dry the peas slightly and place them in a salad bowl. Mix with the red onion, olive oil, and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper.
Serve at room temperature or refrigerated

Notes

Once cooked, run the cooked peas under cold water so they will keep their bright color and crunch as you stop the cooking process.
Slice the red onion into very thin slivers. This will give you a fantastic flavor that balances the sweetness of your peas without overpowering them.
