I must admit that we don't eat peas very often here at home. And that's actually because my daughter is not a big fan of it. You keep looking for other vegetables and these green peas fell into oblivion a bit. But recently I took home two bags of fresh green peas and made this creamy green pea salad with clove cheese. And at least my husband and I were able to eat deliciously for two days. green pea salad green peas cold pea salad vegetarian
Incidentally, this is also an ideal salad to use leftover vegetables. Half a red bell pepper, a few sprigs of parsley, leftover soybeans, you name it!
Did you know…? The Origin of Clove Cheese
The origin of cloves and cumin cheese actually came about to hide a little secret. Originated in Friesland, because the cows there graze on a poor soil and a lot of influence from the sea, this caused a stiff and salty dairy. To hide this a bit, these spices were added to the cheese. The spices also retained moisture in the cheese and gave it a sweeter and spicier taste. But we are grateful to these stubborn Frisians, because without them this cheese would not have existed.
By the way, you have to love it, not everyone can appreciate cumin cheese and clove cheese. My husband and I both love this flavor so I buy it regularly. And. in this case it gives just a little more flavor to your salad.
