I found this recipe on a website called "Naturally Ella"  You can view it by clicking HERE.  I wanted to find something other than a soup recipe to use peas!  The photo is courtesy of her website also.

 

 

Yellow Split Pea Salad with Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette

Author: Erin Alderson

Recipe type: salad

Serves: 2

Ingredients

• ½ cup yellow split peas
• 3-4 handfuls lettuce
• 2 ounces goat cheese
• ¼ cup pecans, toasted

Dressing

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard

 

Instructions

1. Sort through and rinse split peas. Add to a pot with water and bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and then let cook for 30-45 minutes. Split peas should be tender but still hold their shape.
2. Once done, drain and let cool slightly.
3. In a jar with a lid, combine olive oil, vinegar, honey, and mustard. Shake until combined.
4. Toss split peas, lettuce, pecans, and goat cheese with a drizzle of dressing.

Notes

*I usually make a big batch of dressing and use it throughout the week. I’ll double and triple everything except the honey- which I usually add to taste for a hint of sweetness.

Field Pea Update

Here are some of the field pea fields and their progress so far...  Please remember that if you didn't get the herbicide on before your peas emerged, Raptor/Basagran/Grass Herbicide of Choice can be sprayed as soon as the peas have 3 pairs of leaves.
