MACARONI SALAD WITH PEAS



Macaroni Salad with Peas image

I love macaroni salad, but wanted something a bit lighter. I looked through a lot of recipes and combined the best of all, and added my special touch--this was a big hit even among folks who don't normally like macaroni salads. The peas are the real surprise.

SUMMER MACARONI SALAD

When we grill, my mother asks me to make this summer pasta salad. To make it extra creamy, I like to keep a small amount of dressing separate and stir it in just before serving. -Carly Curtin, Ellicott City, Maryland

SUMMER MACARONI SALAD WITH PEAS AND RADISH



Summer Macaroni Salad with Peas and Radish image

I loved Pea Salad as a kid. We always had radishes on the relish trays that were popular in the 60's. I have been cooking for 40+ years, and I never thought to feature peas and radishes together. I will tell you, that the sweetness of the peas, and the distinctive heat of the radishes make a very tasty gastronomic experience....

RADISH SALAD WITH PEAS



Radish Salad with Peas image

Radishes are crisp and peppery, and when combined with a sweet, citrus-flavored dressing, everybody will be coming back for more of this refreshing salad. We enjoy it as a luncheon salad with crackers and garnished with hard-boiled egg wedges, but it's also the perfect sidekick for a spring/summer cookout or picnic.
