Great sweet and sour type salad! I wouldn't recommend using the canned peas, they are mushy enough even before marinating. I used frozen peas straight out of the bag, no need to thaw. I prefer yellow or red peppers over green, so that's what I used. I would make this again, it's quick and easy to throw together.

This salad is very refreshing. I used all frozen veggies and it turned out perfectly!

This recipe has been in my family for years and everyone likes it. The only difference is that I would advise using La Soeur Petite peas and french cut green beens. This is a great dish for cook outs , picnic and potlucks! The longer it sits the better!!

Very tasty...did not add pimentos because I didn't have any. I reduced the sugar some but it could easily be reduced by half in not more without affecting the taste.

ok salad, maybe I was hoping it would taste more like a marinated salad I get from Dixie Cafe. Too vinegary

Although I made some changes, this is a spectacular tasting salad! First, I used 1 1/2 cups each of frozen green beans & corn instead of canned (one reviewer asked if they should be cooked first - no, simply put into a strainer, run under water and toss into bowl. This keeps them crisp!) I also added a can of 5 bean medley (Unico brand), didn't use pimentos, used red pepper instead of green, 1/2 cup of sugar instead of 1 cup and 2 tbsp of onion powder instead of onion because my husband can't eat onions. What a great tasting salad for summer! Thanks so much!

This tasted OK but it looked horrible. I made it just as stated in recipe (only halfing dressing) and it just looked ugly. I will not make this again unless I use all fresh veggies.

I didn't give it 5 stars because I didn't follow the recipe. Instead of making my own dressing for the salad, I just used Italian dressing and it was delicious!!! I used 1 can green beans, 1 can corn, 4 small celery stalks chopped up, about 1/2 cup of chopped carrots, and 1/2 an onion chopped up. I then mixed it with about 1/2 cup of Italian dressing. Everyone loved it!!!
