- I like to make this sweet pea salad ahead of time and then stick it in the fridge for a bit to allow the flavours to blend. Do a quick mix when you’re ready to serve.
- You can easily make the dressing using all mayonnaise if you prefer.
- Adding in a tablespoon of chutney works wonders, too.
- Prefer your salad to be really creamy? Add in an extra dollop of sour cream and/or mayonnaise.
