Pea Salad with Smoked Almonds

another tasty recipe from Simply Recipes

I wasn't sure I would like this, because I am not a huge fan of peas, but this was pretty tasty. I would bring this as a side dish to pot-lucks, BBQ's, etc. It tasted good and only took 5 minutes to prepare. Can't get much better than that. I did rinse the almonds, even though that seemed weird, and they still tasted good (and a little spicy). Blue Diamond makes a 6oz can of jalepeno smokehouse almonds, which is what I think this recipes is calling for.

16-ounces frozen petite peas (do not thaw)
1/2 cup chopped green onions
6 ounces smokehouse almonds, rinsed to take off the excess salt, chopped (preferably by hand)
8 ounces chopped water chestnuts
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp yellow curry powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Combine the frozen peas, green onions, smokehouse almonds, and water chestnuts. In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and curry powder. Gently stir the mayonnaise mixture into peas. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Serves 6.

Notes from Beth: Can make the morning of, but add the almonds when you serve. Still good the next day but should be made the day you serve. Wonderful served with sliced tomato and avocado and chicken for lunch.
