directions

  • Mix the first 3 ingredients together and chill 1-2 hours.
  • Under cook the peas (I just run hot water over them to defrost).
  • Drain well and chill peas until cold.
  • WHEN READY TO SERVE:

  • Mix the peas and peanuts (you should have an equal volume of both).
  • Stir the dressing in and serve at once (Do NOT mix in the dressing early).

Questions & Replies

  1. What are Spanish peanuts as opposed to any other kind of peanut? Are they salted or unsalted? Thanks, C.

  1. I make a similar salad but it has cashews and bacon, mayo and sour cream and green onions. Everyone love it. Originally it had sliced mushrooms but I prefer it without them and my son doesn't like mushrooms so he will eat it too. It is the perfect balance of salty, creamy and a little sweet from the peas, the crispier the bacon the better and can't assemble till you are ready to serve.
     
  2. This was a nice way to use peas. Felt like an unusual salad and we liked it a lot!
     
  3. What a nice change for green peas. Used roasted peanuts and red onion; otherwise made as directed. Had hoped to get a picture, but it was gone before I could get one. My hubby also liked this dish even though he is not a huge "pea" fan. Thanks for the post! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, January, 2012.
     
  4. Couldn't be easier. I used party peanuts instead of the Spanish peanuts because I hate peanut skins! My bag of peas was 12oz and I didn't use all the peanuts in the 12oz container. My gramps who is nut crazy, loved this dish!
     
  5. I used low fat miracle whip, red onion and honey roasted peanuts. Great favor! Nice summer side dish, great for a picnic, or BBQ! Thank You!
