Categories < 4 Hours

Time 2h25m

Yield 2 Quart Bowl, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 (15 ounce) cans peas, drained
1 cup diced American cheese or 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup diced onion
1 (2 ounce) jar pimientos, cut into small pieces
4 diced hard-boiled eggs
2 hard-boiled eggs, quartered long way (to garnish)
1 cup Miracle Whip (increase as necessary)
salt, to taste
paprika

Steps:

It is important that you let the salad stand in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so, otherwise, it will not taste right as the onions are the only thing that flavors the dressing.
Grandma always made it with Miracle Whip, but if you are one of those folks who despises the taste, you can substitute mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar added. You can also, add in 2 Tbsps Hormel real bacon bits for extra flavor.
Mix all. Let stand for a minimum of two hours in the refrigerator.
Sprinkle top with paprika for garnished look.
Cook time is chill time in refrigerator.

SWEET PEA SALAD

Sweet Pea Salad image

My friend gave me this recipe several years ago, when our families attended a 4th of July picnic together. I have made it many times since then, and it's always a favorite whenever I make it. The recipe makes quite a bit, so it's one of my favorite dishes to take to potlucks, picnics and other gatherings with large crowds. The recipe would fit a lot of party themes, as the ingredients represent various continental cuisines, from the Asian inspired chestnuts to the Brazilian cashews. But it is the smokey Dutch-influenced gouda cheese that adds a wonderful Mediterranean flair to this great picnic salad. Cooking time does not including chilling time (as that can vary greatly).

One of My grandma's many wonderful recipes. This is a traditional holiday dish in our family. It is also a great recipe for a cookout or covered dish supper. It is a little different from the other pea salad recipes that are posted. For best flavor make this recipe the night before serving or several hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.

GRANDMA'S SWEET AND TANGY BEAN SALAD

Grandma's Sweet and Tangy Bean Salad image

I've never been a huge bean salad fan, due to the textures primarily. However, this bean salad my grandmother and mother passed along is great because it adds a good crunchiness with cucumbers, green peppers, onion, and celery!
