Nice, different salad. It does make a lot though. I halved the recipe and more then halved the dressing. I really enjoyed it, my kids didn't love it, mainly because of the peas. This recipe is easy to tweek to you liking, adding or deleting ingredients.

Even cutting this recipe in half makes a lot. In-laws always request it when they come for dinner.

Well, I didn't quite follow the recipe to a "T", but recipes are just guidelines, right? Anyways, I only added 4 eggs, skipped the lettuce, used Miracle Whip instead of mayo and less than a cup, no sugar, and only about 1 cup of shredded cheddar. I boiled my eggs 8 minutes, just because that's always how I've made hard boiled eggs, I'm not sure what the difference would be - they turned out fine. By my calculations, I've cut the calories and fat by half or more. I didn't layer, just mixed it all together. Still, this tastes great! And with the adjustments, it's something we can eat more than once a year without feeling toooo guilty!

This is a great buffet salad. I did add chopped celery and green onions as an additional layer. I used less sugar in the dressing and added salt and pepper. I used a lasagna casserole and it was a great presentation.

As a native Iowan and growing up eating this home cooked salad, I think this recipe is top notch.

The best I can say is blah. The dressing was not good at all - like a big blob of mayo on your salad. :(

For me this pea salad was just OK. I will stick with the non-layered type pea salad the way my mom makes it. I do have to say that my 1 year old LOVED this and kept begging for more.

A classic I grew up loving; thanks for posting it! I took it to Thanksgiving last year and the bowl was cleaned out. Ensure the peas are thawed because they won't thaw in 2 hours in the fridge once the salad is assembled.

I wanted to bring something different for the holiday's this year so tried it out first on my family. Well not only will I be making it for the holiday's, but it is now one of my family's favorite salad dishes. I cut down on the mayo and added a bit more lettuce, which made it stretch. My husband asked if there was anymore left the following night for supper. It was a hit!!!

This was very good. I didn't have any lettuce, so didn't add that, but still yummy. I did add more bacon.

Very tasty, although a little too much mayo for me. Next time I will try half mayo, half ranch dressing. Maybe ranch wwith bacon. Great recipe, reminds me of Grandmas. Thanks for the memmories.

I had ladies from Relief Society and served a salad bar/dessert menu. This salad was on it, mostly because it elminates the need for several different bottles of dressing. There's some magic that goes on between the frozen peas and the other veggies because you've never had a salad come out so crisp. For extra color and flavor I add a shredded carrot layer, a sliced radish layer, and as always, a chopped celery layer. Once in a while I also add sliced water chestnuts.I used light mayo and added about 1/4 of an envelope of Ranch mix to the dressing. I believe it works out better to put the egg and bacon on top of the dressing rather than under. Also I used half the cheese and that seemed like plenty.

Very yummy! I did one thing wrong though I mixed the cheddar with the mayonnaise mixture, it made it pretty goopy, but was excellent anyway. I will make this again soon. (Next time following the directions :) ) Thanks so much!
