Pea Salad with Ginger, Olives and Sweet Pepper

I’ve never known anyone, very young or old, who didn’t like this rather unlikely sounding combination of ingredients. Apart from its taste, the great advantage of this cooked salad is that it can be made well in advance, so it is practical for larger gatherings. You can serve it with cold chicken or meat or, for a light meal, simply on its own, accompanied by good crusty bread.
