Ingredients
½ cup dry split peas (green, yellow or a mix)

1 cup diced tomato
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup Italian salad dressing

- Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Comments
The flavor of this salad will vary a bit due to the salad dressing used. However, I have made it and served this salad at a few events and it has been very popular with adults. It is very affordable and easy to make, a little unusual, but quite tasty!
