THis is the pea salad I make as taught by my grandma. I dont measure.

1 can of petit pois-small green peas drained
tomato diced
little bit of onion finely diced

for dressing:

miracle whip not mayo
add some rice wine vinegar to thin it
one packet of splenda

add over sald and enjoy

I made this one for Thanksgiving, and everyone loved it. Easy and yummy!
1 package frozen baby peas - thawed
1/2 cup chopped sweet onion
cubed cheddar cheese <to your taste>

Dressing: Mayonnaise - and salt & pepper

my mom just took drained sweet peas a little diced onion mayo and salt and pepper to taste lol

I use a bag of frozen peas, they hold up better.
A small container of lite/nonfat cream cheese. If i need more to blend i will add ranch dressing.

Diced cheese of any flavor is always good. Purple onions are showy, add salt and pepper to taste.
sunflower seeds too.

My mother was from PA, she took 2 cans of sweet peas, cut up Candied Dill Pickles, soft boiled eggs, mixed with mayonaise. At Christmas, she added pimentos. I love this recipe, but I am in FLorida and for the life of me I cannot remember the Brand Name of these pickles. She was from Apollo Pa, and bought them there. If anyone knows of the brand please let me know. Good Luck in finding the right recipe for you!!

I am from New England and never heard of pea salad until we started travelling the US and saw it on buffets in restaurants. We called it Peas n Cheese until we learned it was Pea Salad. Yummy, don't know why it hasn't spread to the northeast.

Wow didn't know you could make pea salad sooooo many ways.
I use 1 can of peas
cube cheese, or take 3 slice stack and cube
1 hard boiled egg or 2 if you like
mix Miracle whip and a little sugar.... ta da.... all done... we love it.
Usually double, keeps well....
