Green Pea Salad

My Grandma and my Ma both made this simple and tasty salad.

It’s unusual and has been a surprise hit at pot-lucks more than once.

2 hard-boiled eggs (cold) yolks and whites separated

1/4 cup mayo

1 Tbls. Milk

3/4 stalk celery (chopped pea-sized)

1 (17 oz.) can small green peas (drained)

salt, pepper, paprika

The trick is to mash the hard-boiled egg yolks into the mayo and then, add just enough milk to make a creamy syrup. Smooth but not thin. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in chopped celery and chopped egg-whites. Gently fold in peas. Double or triple for a pot-luck.

A generous amount of paprika on top adds a subtle flavor and aroma and brightens up a somewhat dull looking salad. Don’t let the looks fool you…it’s good!
