My family loves this pea salad-even those that normally wouldn't eat peas. I prefer to use mayo but Miracle Whip is great, too-just sweeter. Easily expanded to feed a crowd. Enjoy!

Sour cream, dill,and dijon mustard are just a few ingredients which made this peas salad a huge hit in our house. I was looking for something special to serve with Prime Rib, and this is it! I cut some calories by using light dairy products.

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).
