Add peas & cook not more than another 5 minutes, then drain & transfer veggies to a serving bowl. 3. Add onion, pepper, gherkins, baby capers, olives & sliced egg. 4. In a separate bowl, whisk together mayo, lemon juice & mustard, then add to serving bowl & mix well to ensure all ingredients are coated. 5. Sprinkle with pepper & toss, then refrigerate. 6. Before serving, allow to stand at room temperature for an hour so that flavors can meld.                              |
