Well, okay then. The only people who don’t like pea salad are Nazis and illegal immigrants. 😉 ---

I used to put canned tuna, chopped lettuce, tomato, and cucumber in a bowl, bring a can of peas to a boil and dump it over the tuna salad, add garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper, a bunch of mayo, and mix it up. The hot liquid wilted the lettuce and warmed everything up. Warm, wet tuna salad…mmm. ---

I’m a purist. I love boiled/steamed peas so much that anything more would detract from their goodness. However, I will keep an eye on this thread to see if anything tempts. ---

> [@spark240](#): > > Here’s [another version of pea salad](http://southerncuisine.suite101.com/article.cfm/southern_seven_layer_sald). It’s hardly a Texas thing; you’ll find this all over the South. My “of course” is a reference to my history of posting recipes; somehow, most of them come from the Homesick Texan. Pea Salad is definitely a Southern classic. For general Texas Culinary History, it’s hard to beat [Robb Walsh](http://www.robbwalsh.com/). ---

Boil/steam your peas until bright green (a minute or two), then toss with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, some finely chopped chives, and salt to taste. I make this sometimes as a snack. ---
