  1. Meme3108 REVIEW:

    Have made this several times and we love it. It is even better after being in the fridge for a day or two! YUMMY. Easy and tasty...it doesn't get any better than that.

  2. glenda melvin REVIEW:

    I have made this for many, many years. The original recipe called for dry roasted peanuts, frozen peas and Hellman's mayo. The additional add-ins--bacon, ranch dressing, cheese and red onion sound delicious! Gotta try this new way!

  3. Barry REVIEW:

    Easy and refreshing. I used regular frozen peas instead of the miniature ones, which were just as good. The bacon bits really added extra flavor.

  4. Andrea REVIEW:

    It doesn't specify the amount of mayo needed so I just added it until it was what I thought was right. I also assumed a 10 ounce package of peas (my store also had 12 ounce in regular peas). I maybe added 1/3 cup mayo? Not sure. Better measurements would have been helpful.

  5. prettyinpink REVIEW:

    I don't thaw the peas when I make this, I just add it all in and store in the fridge for a couple of hours before we eat it. Just give it a stir and serve.

  6. Guest Foodie REVIEW:

    This is a great cold salad, I can think of so many ways to change it up...tomatoes, so many garden veggies! Give it a try
