I'm looking for a recipe for "old fashioned" pea salad for tonight.?

Question

I had one that uses frozen green peas, cubed cheddar cheese, green onions, etc., but I can't find it now.

Answer 1

Green Pea Salad

2 (16 ounce) cans peas, gently rinsed and drained
1 cup finely diced cheddar cheese
1 cup diced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced sweet gherkins
1/2 cup diced red bell peppers or pimentos
1/2 cup mayonnaise
salt and pepper, to taste

In medium bowl, combine all ingredients. Toss lightly to coat evenly.
Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours.

Answer 2

Old Fashioned Pea Salad

Answer 3

That's the recipe I grew up with, you got everything right. The dressing is mayonaise, tossed with the ingredients you remembered and well chilled. These days, "the un-inlightened" would decrease the mayonaise by half and use sour cream or yogurt. I guess it would do, but it would not be the salad you and I remember. Sometimes she used Jack cheese and red Bermuda onion as a nice change. A wonderful recipe for a quick dinner and very refreshing. Do scald your frozen peas for about 3 minutes and drain well before mixing into the salad.
