This salad is a delicious crunchy combination. I especially like this for summer barbeques for something different. I clipped it from Quick Cooking magazine a couple years ago.

WATER CHESTNUT PEA SALAD

A local restaurant serves a pea salad that everyone raves over, so I came up with a similar version my family likes even better. My husband requests the well-dressed crunchy combination often during the summer. At 70¢ a serving, it doesn't cost a lot to make this chilled vegetable side dish. -Maree Waggener Cheney, Washington
