How to Make Quick Pea Salad for a Summer Picnic

Peas are a light touch for picnics.

Picnics typically focus on light fare that can be made quickly. A pea salad is an easy addition to any picnic meal and can be kept in the fridge and served cool.

Things You'll Need

• 1 can sweet peas
• 1/2 onion
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise or salad dressing
• 1/2 teaspoon sage
• Disposable bowl with lid
• 2 eggs

Instructions

1. Hard boil the eggs. This typically takes about 10 minutes.

2. Pour the peas into the bowl.

3. Finely chop the onion. Larger pieces tend to take away from the peas, while smaller pieces add to the flavor.

4. Mix the salad dressing or mayonnaise into the peas and add the onions, mixing them in as well.

5. Add the sage. Peel the eggs and cut them up. Use the whole egg or just the whites, whichever you prefer. Place the eggs in the bowl.

6. Cover and let cool in the refrigerator.
