Pea Salad

This is a great cold salad. Very forgiving. Have used Splenda in place of sugar in the dressing. I like to add some vinegar, as well. Shredded cheese works just as well as cubed.

Pea Salad


Frozen peas, partially thawed under running water
2 cups sweet pickles, diced (have used relish, but bigger chunks are better)
1 cup diced red bell peppers
2 cups diced celery
1 dozen hard boiled eggs, diced
1/2 finely diced onions
1 cup cubed American or cheddar cheese

Dressing
4 C. mayonnaise
1/4 C. sugar
1/4 C. chopped sweet pickle chips
1 tablespoon diced red bell pepper

In a large bowl, combine salad ingredients. In a separate bowl mix dressing ingredients. Add to salad mixture and gently toss.
