Petite Peas And Snow Pea Salad

So when we call pain a problem, we claim we do not deserve it. We are even prepared to scuttle God to maintain our own innocence. We will say that God is not able to do what He would like, or He would never permit persons such as ourselves to suffer. That puffs up our egos and soothes our griefs at the same time. “How could God do this to me?” is at once an admission of pain and a soporific for it. It reduces our personal grief by eradicating the deity. Drastic medicine, indeed, that only a human ego, run wild, could possibly imagine.

INGREDIENTS

2		Bags frozen petite peas, 16
		oz.
3	c	Fresh snow peas
1 1/2	c	Sour cream or sour half and
		half
		Chopped fresh dill, about 1
		to 1 1/2 c.
1 1/2	t	Curry powder
		Salt and freshly ground
		pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Defrost the petite peas. Trim the ends of (and string if necessary)
the snow peas and blanch them. (To blanch, drop into a pot of rapidly
boiling water for 30 seconds, drain and plunge into a bowl of ice
water. This will stop the cooking and set the bright green color.
Drain and dry on paper towels.)  Combine sour cream, dill, curry
powder, salt and pepper in a small  bowl and mix thoroughly. Combine
with the petite peas and the snow  peas, mixing together lightly so as
not to mash the peas. Chill. This  can be made the day before serving
and stored, covered, in the  refrigerator. To serve, line a large bowl
with ruffly garden or other  pretty lettuce and fill with the salad.
Serves 12 to 18 people.  Posted to recipelu-digest by "Diane Geary."
