Cold pea salad is a very popular dish in various regions of Latin America, known for its freshness and versatility. In countries like Mexico, it is often simply called "pea salad," while in others, like Venezuela and Colombia, it may be identified as "green pea salad." This recipe has its roots in home cooking, where fresh and economical ingredients are used, making it an ideal side dish for summer meals or special celebrations.
