Answer 5

Try this one. Take a 15 oz can of peas and cook. Set them aside to cool. Take one stalk of celery and dice it into small(1/4 x 1/4 inch pieces). Cut up 1/4 pound of velvetta cheese(again 1/4 x 1/4 " cubes) into small cubes. Add the peas(after cooling), the cheese, and celery in a small bowl and add miracle Whip salad dressing until creamy. Refrigerate until your ready to serve.

Answer 6

Oh this is easy. You need a can of peas---not frozen! Drain those, add some Miracle Whip (not real mayo!), a spoonful of sweet pickle relish, and a stack of American cheese slices cubed up. Mix it all together and you have not only my mom's recipe from the 60's, but the favorite salad at my old restaurant.
