Pea and Tomato Salad

Salads can be a cinch to make and they can be complicated.  For me, it normally, makes no sense to put extra effort into a salad unless it is the main dish.  One can make a tasty and attractive salad with only a few ingredients.  I find that tomatoes bring color to the greens of a salad so I like to include them when they are from the garden and have the real flavor comes through.

This is an example of a green and red salad that can have as little or as much heat, as your would like.  You can also add any vegetables, you see fit to add.

    I don't think I've ever had peas in this type of salad (sweet pea salad, yes--lettuce salad, no). They make a green salad look more interesting I think.
