I followed the recipe exactly, it was good although I thought there was too much sour cream. Next time I would reduce the amount.

I've made this a half a dozen times or so and there are NEVER any leftovers!!! As written, the dressing is a little bland for my taste, and although I've toyed around, I've yet to find the perfect one spice blended for my picky palate. Recently, my favorite dressing is half Miracle Whip and half ranch dressing. I'll post again when I perfect it!!! I do add a jar of chopped pimentos and a handful of shredded cheddar cheese for color, and garnish with a paprika sprinkled, sliced or wedged hard boiled egg. This is a great pot luck dish, sure to be one of a kind on a table surrounded by a half a dozen bowls of baked beans and another half dozen of green bean casseroles... Dare to be different!!!

Not bad, I liked it better when I mixed in some Good Seasonings dressing mix or other seasoning mixes. Easy, though.

This was okay but wasn't great. Husband loved the bacon-y crunch. Also, I used cutting celery rather than celery.

I love this salad. Have been making it for years since my mother-in-law gave it to me. Everyone likes it whenever I take it to a potluck or BBQ, even people who don't think they like peas.

I made this recipe for a Mother's Day Brunch at our church. I was one of the last tables to get through the line and there was NONE left when I got there, and the people who'd had it were looking for seconds! Glad I took a few bites to "test taste" it before the brunch! My kids, ages 3, 6 & 13, actually devoured it the 2nd time I made it! I'm planning to make it for a company luncheon tomorrow too! Thank you!

This is good, mom's is better. You really can't put the cashews and bacon in too long before serving - cause the texture is just all wrong when they have sat in the sour cream. We always use water chestnuts instead of the boring celery - and the salt and pepper should have measurements - because when you say "to taste" to people and they call the salad too bland - well does anyone else think that could be a seasoning issue? We added enough salt and pepper that it wasn't boring - but really - I have to call mom to get the real recipe, because I remember this being super tasty around her table. Thanks for trying...

I did the stupidist thing ever! I made this for Easter dinner, it was awful. Bland. Bland. Bland. Maybe with Mayo or something, nobody could eat it and I was kicking myself because I didn't try it before hand. I have never rated anything so low!
