This is the best salad ever! This is my fist time reviewing a recipe and I just had to review this one after I tried it! I had it at a potluck luncheon today at work. It out-shined all the other salads there!!!! Fabulous!

Wow! I was expecting good, but this was excellent. I have a friend who makes pea salad and although I'll never tell her this, this recipe blows it out of the water. I agree with the other reviewers to reduce the amount of mayo to just enough to coat (but that's my preference) and I also added real bacon bits because everything's better with bacon! The basalmic is an amazing touch and with the crunch of the almonds it's absolutely delicious. I even tried it BEFORE adding bacon bits and would still have given it 5 stars so no "tweak rating" going on here... ;)

Nice twist on pea salad. This was very quick to put together with ingredients I usually have on hand. I did not measure the mayonnaise, just added enough until the salad was 'wet". The balsamic vinegar and feta were a nice addition.

The adults liked this - the kids did NOT. I used far less mayo - a heaping tablespoon that was probably closer to 2T. So, husband and I enjoyed and will eat again. I'll offer the kids a salad.

WOW! This is delicious. Green peas have never been a favorite but I can't get enough of this recipe. I make it the night before so the flavors have time to meld together and the sauce thickens and clings to the vegetables. This is definitely a keeper, go to recipe. Thanks for sharing.

The balsamic vinegar gives this pea salad a great twist of flavor. I reserved some of the toasted almonds and sprinkled them on top for a fancier presentation. I'll keep this recipe handy - it's an easy and impressive side dish.

Delicious. I wanted to make a meal out of this so I added kielbasa sausage. It turned out very good. Small cubes of ham might work as well. But as a side dish the meatless version here is very tasty.

I admit to using sunflower seeds (roasted/salted) and less mayo, but I don't believe these changes made a big difference. This is a fantastic recipe! Frozen peas are so nice and crisp, as opposed to nasty old canned.

Very good. Balsamic added a wonderful flavor to the pea salad. The dark balsamic discolors the salad though to a weird brown. I would try again with white balsamic in order to avoid the color
