Mayo, spread out like frosting
Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Bacon Bits
You might need to pack it down as you go....especially after the pea layer. Cover with plastic or foil and refrigerate at least 8 hours. This is so surprising.
We used to make this when I was a kid, so glad to see the recipe again! My mom's recipe used parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. She used to make it in an ancient Tupperware cake carrier top. I am not a mayo fan but loved this salad!
