Holiday Side Dish recipes

Now that Easter is almost here and the first day of Spring has arrived we can start thinking about entertaining and serving delicious recipes to our family and friends.

One of my favorite holiday recipes to serve when I have the entire family over for dinner is a creamy pasta salad recipe.

We love pasta salad around here. When you're expecting company for dinner it is all about the awesome side dish recipes you are serving.

Everyone loves to dig into the side dish recipes and pile their plates high with side dish recipes like a pasta salad.

Le Sueur Very Young Small Sweet Peas

Le Sueur Sweet Peas are our favorite brand of canned peas. They taste the best and are a perfect addition to any meal or added to a recipe like this Creamy Peas Pasta Salad recipe.

Le Sueur Sweet Peas are delicious heated up and served right out of the can as a side dish or they can add just the right amount of flavor mixed into a pasta salad.

A serving of creamy Pea and Pasta Salad recipe

Le Sueur Peas have been around for over a 100 years and are known for their premium breed of petite sweet peas that are so delicate that the only way for them to maintain their exquisite tenderness from farm to table is in a Le Sueur can.

Le Sueur Sweet Peas are tender and sweet but at the same time can hold their shape while cooking and can hold their shape when mixed into recipes like a pea salad. Mushy peas are no fun in a pasta salad!

Families have been enjoying the restaurant quality flavor of Le Sueur Sweet Peas for decades and have come to rely on the sweet and tender flavor of Le Sueur Sweet Peas with everyday meals and holidays when serving peas as a side dish or added to their favorite recipes.
