PEA SALAD WITH CURRY AND ALMONDS

FRUITS & VEGETABLES - EAT 5 TO 9 A DAY

Serves 4
Provides 1½ vegetable servings per person

I make this wonderful salad with sweet spring peas. This vegetable is rich in fiber, protein, iron, and flavor. Sometimes, for convenience, I like to use frozen peas. These are great because they are usually frozen at the height of their seasonal flavor. Start with 2 cups of these thawed petit peas. Add 1 cup chopped jicama, 1 heaping tablespoon of finely chopped purple onion, and 2 tablespoons of chopped toasted almonds. Dress with ¼ cup light mayonnaise mixed with ¼ cup of nonfat plain yogurt, a teaspoon of curry powder, a pinch of cayenne, salt, and pepper. This is a salad your family will love and it provides each person with 1½ servings of vegetables.
 

2 cups thawed petit peas

1 heaping tablespoon finely chopped purple onion
2 tablespoons roughly chopped toasted almonds

¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
 

1. Place the peas, jicama, onions, and almonds in a bowl.
