Traditionally, I invite friends to Labor Day. Traditionally, we make barbecue and potato salad. This weekend Labor Day and the thirty-degree heat coincided, so my menu consisted mostly of cold dishes and vegetables. The exception is the delicious grilled medallions wrapped in bacon. A refreshing cucumber gazpacho served as a healthy start.
Since zucchini-eggplant-peppers-tomatoes - I have already prepared all this, for the potato salad I decided to use something unique in other dishes, but at the same time bright and light. This something became green peas.
The salad turned out to be great - elegant, wonderful in taste and aroma. Great both warm and cold.

Preparation
Prepare potatoes "in their uniforms": pour over cold water, bring to a boil and cook until tender. Cool so that you can pick it up. Peel and chop coarsely.
Blanch green peas in boiling water for 3-4 minutes.
While the potatoes are boiling, prepare the rest of the herbs and dressing.
Place all the ingredients (part of the dill) for the salad in a bowl. Drizzle with the dressing, stir, transfer to a salad bowl and sprinkle with the remaining dill on top.
Let it brew at room temperature. I covered the salad with cling film to keep the warmth and concentrate the flavors.
If you are using a regular onion, it is better to pour boiling water over it for 1-3 minutes, then drain the water.
For these qualities, many appreciate it and use it with pleasure not only as a side dish for lunch or dinner, but also as one of the main ingredients of vitamin salads. Pea salad recipes are unique and varied. Probably, each housewife has her own recipe for preparing such a dish. The fact is that green peas are a universal thing that can be easily combined with a huge number of products.
These include any meat (pork, beef, lamb, poultry), river and sea fish, seafood (shrimp, squid, mussels), various vegetables (cucumbers, onions, potatoes, beets, carrots), fresh, fried or pickled mushrooms of all sorts, eggs, ham, etc. In the form of a refueling for the like culinary masterpieces you can use whatever your heart desires: from sunflower oil and lemon juice to sour cream, natural yogurt and mayonnaise. Peas will easily tolerate any combination, and such salads are not only prepared quickly, but also look very colorful, beautiful and appetizing. Guests and households will appreciate this original and hearty dish.
