Very easy and very yummy! A great pot luck dish!

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!

I made this recipe for christmas dinner, I have never had this salad but told my family it had a 5 star rating on allrecipe.com. We loved it and are now adding it to our traditial food list.

I thought this salad was delicious! So did everyone else at the event :) Next time, I am going to add a layer of cheese in the middle to add some color, thats the only changing I will do!!!! I was skeptical of the mayo & sugar but it was yummy!!!

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!

This turned out so good. My husband loved it too !

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.

I've seen a similar recipe called "Seven Layer Salad", but it’s red onions instead of white or yellow, frozen corn is added, and parmesan cheese instead of cheddar cheese. Both salads are great and wonderful for spring and summer parties.

Memories- This salad is great. I could not stop eating it. It makes a ton but it won't last! Great for people on Atkins too!

My mom used to make this salad when I was a kid, Thanks for bringing back such good memories. My children also love this.

Loved this recipe and so did my husband. However, does anyone have any suggestions for spreading the mayo? I had a tough time with that. Thanks!

This is a great recipe- I plan to use it at Thanksgiving!

Very good and I didn't even leave it 24hrs so I had to mix it up a bit. I added mushrooms. I will make this again!!! And I think this will be my Christmas salad.
