BEET AND PEA SALAD

Beet and Pea Salad image

I got the idea for this recipe from my daughter-in-law who had tried a beet and pea salad at an organic food co-op. She was sure the beets had been pickled and the dressing was made with mayonnaise. She thought the salad included cabbage, but I decided to keep the recipe very simple. It was a major hit with my husband who hates beets.
