Nonny’s Pea and Beet Salad

Beet Salad blog

This salad was inspired by the late-night cravings of a dear friend and fellow night-owl.  This is a basic Midwestern mayo salad gone vegan.  The basic core of the recipe is mayonnaise, peas and beets.   but you may add the spices I did, green beans, fresh, raw, frozen, or canned, use more or less vegan mayonnaise – use the high fat but just-like-the-real-deal VEGANAISE, or something more low-cal… vary it however you like it.  I was in a hurry and not feeling well so I whipped up a lazy-version with CANNED veggies.

I used these…

Ingredients;

1 can sliced beets (then chopped)

1 can peas

1 can french style beans

1 cucumber (diced small)

1 table-spoon Veganaise mayo

1 table-spoon plus Nasoya  mayo  (use as much vegan mayonnaise as you like to just coat everything but not be a mayo-mess)

1 small shallot (or freeze dried shallots)

1/8th tea-spoon garlic powder (or more to taste)

seasonings to taste (I used Thyme, garlic salt, fresh cracked pepper – use what you like)

chopped chives

fresh dill

If using canned veggies, drain and rinse them, mix with the ingredients above and refrigerate for at least an hour.  

VOILA:
