Wonderful! Thank you for such an easy and delicious recipe! I used LeSueur small peas as these were in my pantry. I didn't use the cheese and subsituted bacon with maple bacon crumbles. I also used light mayo and light sour cream - perfect. Finally, I chopped green onion instead of the red. So flavorful we couldn't get enough! -
This is truly a very good salad. However, if you want to make it just a little better, add diced fresh tomatoes as another layer. It really makes a wonderful difference. Also, use chopped green onions instead of purple onion. GREAT! -
Great salad. I have a similar recipe using crisp iceberg lettuce. A mix of iceberg, romaine and spinach is also nice. To keep the leftover salad for the next day, I seal it with a little more mayonnaise. Instead of English peas I used a can of tiny sweet peas, drained.
