Pea Salad with Smoked Turkey

Last year I made this salad from my youth that I would never eat. When I was young, you could not get me to eat peas, let alone pea salad! My how the times have changed!

My siblings and I were members of the “Clean Plate Club” during our childhood. Mom made us sit at the table until we ate everything on our plate. Sadly we didn’t have a dog to feed covertly under the dining room table.

Peas were just one of the dreaded vegetables that mom had the nerve to serve me. WHY?! I just couldn’t eat them.

I laugh when I think back to how picky us kids were. Maybe our palates really do change over time. I’m not sure, but I do like peas now, and this Pea Salad with Smoked Turkey is wonderful, and one of my favorite things to eat in the summer.

It’s a simple salad to prepare, and the dressing is creamy and nice, with a hint of dill. Switch out the smoked turkey for bacon or ham if you prefer, and enjoy! This is a great picnic salad.
