I’m back! Pea Salad Recipe
Dear Tea Lovers,
I know you all have been wondering where I’ve been. Thanks for all of your kind notes and e-mails. I’m doing great! While it was a hard decision to close the tea room, it was the best decision for me and my family. It’s been a whirlwind summer with cleaning out the tea room, moving it all to my house, reorganizing my new tea office and starting the new on-line Afternoon to Remember company (as I had to close the tea room corporation).
In addition my sister and niece came to visit for a week. While I still feel a little crazy, things are slowing down a bit so now I can concentrate on redoing the website and bringing you more teas, accessories and gifts and information about tea.
I’ll be sending out a newsletter in August after I return from the eWomen Network conference in Dallas. I always feel rejuvenated and have tons of creative energy after that conference.
I’m working on a few new ventures but I’ll have to share them at a later time when I’m more certain of the details. Just know, good things are coming soon for you!
Here is some other news:
- Tea cup chandelier for sale – Yes, believe it or not I ended up with one. I thought someone was purchasing 2 of them, but she only took one at the sale and I forgot to put it back out. So we still have one left – $200.00. Just e-mail me if you are interested.
- August Tea of the Month-25% off – White Ginger Orange Peach
- August Anniversary Month Special – Free shipping on orders over $20.00.
Pea Salad Recipe:
Finally here it is for those of you who have been asking. Thanks for being so patient with me!
- 1 pkg. frozen peas
- 1/2 c. cashews, chopped – save a few tablespoons out for garnishing top of salad
- 1 c. finely chopped celery
- 6 bacon strips, cooked & crumbled – save a few tablespoons out for garnish
- 1/4 c. chopped red onion
- 1/2 c. mayo
- 1 pkg Good Seasoning Italian Salad Dressing Mix
- 1/2 c. feta cheese – save a few tablespoons out for garnish
- Black pepper
In a large salad bowl, mix together peas, cashews, celery, bacon, red onion and feta. In a small bowl, mix together mayo and salad dressing mix. Add salad dressing mix to pea mixture. Mix well. If you need more mayonnaise to hold it together, add a bit more. (I don’t like mine with so much mayo.) Garnish top with a few tablespoons of cashews, bacon and feta. Sprinkle with black pepper.
Makes a big bowl! If you need to stretch it out a bit to serve more, add more peas. Note: This is a very rich salad so you don’t need to serve a huge portion to your guests.
Have a wonderful day!
Amy
