Hi all
I haven't been here for awhile, but its nice to be back. I've got a really nice summer recipe. This has become a favorite with family and friends.
Summer Corn and Peas (don't let the veggies fool you, they are good!)
1 Cup each of frozen corn and frozen peas, defrosted or quickly dipped in boiling water and then in cold to stop the cooking. (you can also use fresh and blanch them before adding to the recipe)
2 small tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1/2 small sweet white onion (any will do), finely chopped.
A couple of green onion tops, finely chopped.
1 bell pepper, finely chopped. (Use a third each of a green, yellow and red pepper for the color combo.
2 cooked chicken breasts, very light on the salt. I Use Mrs. Dash® Tomato Basil Seasoning Blend.
1/2 cup of good mayo (you can go light mayo on this if you want to)
Drain the corn, peas and tomatoes well. Mix all the ingredients together, chill and serve on a bed of mixed greens.
Don't add any salt or pepper to this. It doesn't need it, the sweetness of the corn and peas are supposed to be the dominant taste and man does it taste really good.
Can you tell I really like this salad?
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons. For thou art crunchy and taste good with tomato sauce.
