Farmer’s Market Chilled Pea Salad
1 lb. fresh peas (purple hull, black eyed, creamer)
1 rough chopped yellow onion
2-3 small diced sweet banana peppers
1 small diced roasted, peeled and seeded red bell pepper
1 small diced purple onion
½ C chopped fresh parsley
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 t fresh thyme
1 t minced garlic
½ C extra virgin olive oil

Sauté yellow onion and garlic on medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add peas and coat in oil but do not cook. Add thyme and then water to cover. Simmer on low until peas are al dente (20 minutes). Once peas are finished remove, spread flat and chill completely. After peas are chilled, transfer to a bowl and add the peppers, purple onion, parsley, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
