Green Peas Gluten Free Salad
Most days, I make my salads with beans (check the difference between black beans and kidney beans) or lentil base. I start with a bowl of cooked beans and work my way up by adding favorite or seasonal or sometime with what’s available in my fridge. There is no recipe for a salad. You can play and create one based on your liking. I will top it with seasonal vegetables and fruits. The vinaigrette is made with Indian spices like cumin, garam masala, oil and lemon juice. Today’s post is a quick easy pea salad recipe. I love this beans because they are tiny and cooks faster. I soak the beans overnight and pressure cook it the following day. Some days, I let the bean sprouts and I add them raw to my salads.
You will find different kinds of green peas salads all over the world. You will also find green peas salad tempered with mustard seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves. This vegan pea salad recipe will be similar in many ways and so, today I am sharing a healthy easy pea salad recipe made with green peas, salad radish, red onions, carrots, tomatoes and green mangoes. All it takes is chop them in to small chunks, mix them all together and toss in the flavorful vinaigrette.
