1 c. mint leaves, minced

1/3 c. Hellmann's mayonnaise
Salt and pepper, to taste

Blanch peas about 2 minutes (do NOT overcook). Rinse in cold water. Drain. Blanch snow peas just until bright green. Rinse in cold water. Drain. Cut snow peas into julienne strips. Combine peas, snow peas and mint in a bowl. Mix sour cream and mayonnaise; fold gently into pea mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate.
