Pea Salad - One Didn't Intend I'd Similar It Either!

I retrieve good when my Mom told me close this recipe for pea salad.  We were on the telephone discussing recipes for the household unit of measurement cookbook I was pulling together equally a gift for our household unit of measurement members.  My immediate thoughts: 

"That.  Sounds. Disgusting.  Peas, hard-boiled egg, pimento, cheddar cheese, too a mayo-based dressing?  All together??  Who thinks of this stuff?  I mean, seriously, were they cleaning out the fridge or something???  And she wants to include this recipe inwards the household unit of measurement cookbook?  I don't fifty-fifty similar peas!"

But it's i of my Dad's favorites.  So ... reluctantly on my purpose ..., into the household unit of measurement cookbook it went.

That didn't hateful I had to endeavor it, though!

Well, non until I ready the personal destination of {eventually} cooking every recipe in our household unit of measurement cookbook ... ya know, form of similar Julie cooks through every recipe inwards Julia Child's cookbook inwards the motion-picture present Julie too Julia.  Here's our household unit of measurement cookbook ... I'm slowly-but-surely cooking my agency through it:

(Sidenote:  I worked amongst The Great Family Cookbook Project to reveal it.  If you're ever considering creating a household unit of measurement cookbook of your own, I highly recommend them... they were wonderful to function with.)

So, having faith inwards my Mom's culinary taste, I took the plunge to endeavor out this recipe when I was having to a greater extent than or less friends over. 

Generally, my friends know that when they come upwardly to my house, they're going to acquire to a greater extent than or less truly-Tracey-tried-and-true nutrient ... along amongst an experiment or two!  And on this given day, Pea Salad was my experiment.

I never fill a invitee carte du jour amongst experimental dishes, but I pretty much e'er stimulate got the chance of having friends over to endeavor out at to the lowest degree i new-to-me dish.  And I typically brand the experimental dish endure a side, or a dessert when I'm offering a selection of desserts.  Worst example - when I laissez passer on it a gustation test, I tin dismiss only conduct non to serve the dish if it disappoints!

Well, estimate what.  I absolutely loved the pea salad.
