I followed the recipe and it was sooooo good! I am going to make a batch and leave it in the breakroom at work. I think it will be a treat! Thank you

Adding the sugar to the mayonnaise thins it and makes it easier to spread the mayo. Used to make similar recipe often, but lost the recipe. We like this a lot, so I'll continue to make it regularly.

When I was making this, I was thinking - there's no way just mayo and sugar for the dressing is going to taste good - but I was wrong! This is so good! I switched romaine lettuce for the iceburg and carrots for the bell pepper. I will make this often.

Delicious & Easy! For a healthy variation, I substitute chopped smoked almonds for the bacon. They give the salad the same smokey, salty crunchiness without the cholesterol.

LOVE IT!!! To simplify things I use a bagged salad instead of lettuce (love the colors), 1 can of peas (small sweet ones are best) instead of frozen, and chopped real bacon instead of bacon bits (fake bacon bits would totally ruin this recipe). I also add a few chopped hardboiled eggs. This salad is addicting and everyone asks for the recipe :)

Great salad. I still don't understand how plain mayo can taste so good with this salad. My hubby enjoyed and he's not a mayo person.

This was gobbled up by two families over Christmas. I made it for my hubby's family on Christmas eve and they loved it. It had only had about six hours to "sit" before dinner but was still very good. We had it again the next day and it was excellent also. I made a couple of modifications due to preference. No celery, as hubby and step-son don't like it. Used real bacon instead of bacon bits. And topped with sliced boiled eggs. We loved it.

Excellent recipe! Goes great with barbecue. My husband was leery of the mayonaise as a dressing, but gobbles it up!

As I expected, this was wonderful! Just like the one from way back when it used to be a popular salad to bring to family gatherings. This is a keeper!

This is a fantastic salad, very similar to the recipe my mom used to make. The only changes I made were to add a layer of small shell pasta (tossed with a little olive oil to prevent sticking), and a layer of sliced hard boiled eggs. For the dressing I used 1 cup mayo and 1/2 cup sour cream, plus 2 teaspoons dijon mustard. Fabulous flavor ... a very impressive salad!!

I am completely addicted to this recipe. I introduced this to my mom and she loves it too! I substitute the regular mayo for light and use splenda in place of the sugar to cut the calories down. I also use 2% cheddar cheese to cut on the calories. Absolutely fabulous in every way!

I use this same recipe with one difference. I use a large bag of frozen sweet peas, I put them in the salad frozen. It helps not to crush the peas when spreading the mayo on top of them. I usually make this salad right before going to bed, put it in the fridge overnight and its ready in the morning. Then I usually mix it up before serving. I am always asked for the recipe, and all of my family members insist I make this for every family function. You can also use the frozen peas the same day as the function, It only takes about 4-6 hours for the peas to thaw in the fridge.

This was really good! I made some tweaks to save time though, and used a 13x9x2" dish. (I also had to use more ingredients than called for to fit it well in this type of dish.) I layered 3/4 bag of Romaine lettuce (sliced thinly) in the bottom, 1 1/2 cup celery, 1 chopped bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped green onions (instead of regular ones), 1 1/2 cup peas, and 3/4 cup light Ranch dressing. I topped it all with 1/2 cup shredded fresh parmesan cheese instead of cheddar, and left off the bacon bits. Letting it sit 24 hours is key! Thanks for the recipe!

I have used her exact recipe for the past 3 years every Easter without changing a thing. It is really easy to make (a major plus for me) and my whole family RAVES over it every year. This year, my kids actually asked for it before I had even thought about it!!

Tips on spreading the mayonaise...place dollops of mayonaise over the peas and spread with a rubber spatula. This works much better than putting all the mayo in the middle and trying to spread it out.
