Pea Salad
Prep Tip: If you do not have green onions use 2 tablespoons chopped white or red onion. You can also replace the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt.
Change it Up: Be creative. Add different herbs you may have growing in your garden such as fresh mint, oregano, dill weed, or thyme. Fresh herbs are easy to grow in pots or the ground.
Nutrition Tip: Peas are high in fiber. Most adults should consume 25-35 grams of fiber a day.
