[@brendalaird6942]

I use shredded cheddar, 2 boiled eggs, 2 ribs of celery, plus bacon, salt pepper, real mayo, a little red wine vinegar,,, really delicious.

[@kathydelucia123]

I learned about this salad in the70's when I lived in Georgia

[@KimtheElder]

I was just thinking I remember a version from the 70s in VA :) I think it was with Miracle Whip - was probably in a magazine on an ad for it.

You are such a no nonsense type of cook. Love your recipes.

[@CatherinesPlates]

Thank you.

[@dianejohanson98]

I had forgotten all about this salad. I love this salad and I will be making this. Great alternative to potato or macaroni salad if you are trying to cut carbs too!

[@sue7777]

This is a dish, which I could sit down and eat the entire bowl of it myself. Never have been too good at sharing. LOL YumYum. Thanks, Catherine, for sharing your recipe with us.

[@lindawireman4789]

Yummy ,I love pea salad

[@renacraft7001]

This is an old but goodie recipe. I love it. Whether using frozen or canned peas, it hits the spot. Thanks!!! God bless...

[@faukerconsulting835]

☝️Mom made English pea salad and I make this often...😊 2 15oz cans sweet peas; drained 1 egg; hard boiled, diced/chopped 4oz cheddar cheese; cubed Miracle Whip enough to lightly dress salt & pepper to taste 2-3 TBSP yellow onion; minced Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and serve chilled

[@dispeaking1]

How do the canned peas hold up? I was thinking LeSeur sweet peas, but those are so delicate.

[@lmbrtshrry]

Yes, this is how my mom made it but with red onion.

[@meshiamae]

Frozen peas always

[@meshiamae]

Another one on my list. Thank you Catherine

[@faukerconsulting835]

@@dispeaking1 ☝🏻they hold up very well when it lasts that long...I'd eat that up in no time...I've never used frozen peas because they aren't tender 😊

[@kimosborn2173]

Love pea salad I add boiled eggs to mine thank you. God bless you and your family

[@frankallen8440]

Haven't had pea salad in years. You have demystified cooking for me. All your recipes taste really good and are pretty easy. Thank you for sharing.

[@CatherinesPlates]

Glad you like them!

[@lindaduskey6415]

I learned from my aunt from Houston many, many years ago to make a pea salad with can peas, mayo, salt, pepper, cubed velveeta cheese and crunched up Fritos!

[@sandraminnich1502]

My go-to salad for summer❣️

[@jomurphey]

This us truly a vintage recipe. I remember my mother making something similar almost 60 years ago.

[@patriciaelg1464]

Red onion. Love this!

[@barbarasutherland8000]

Nice for the summer.💯👍💯🥰💯👏💯✌️💯🥗🥦🫑🥑🥒💯💃💯☘️💯🌍💯

[@deborahc.9869]

I have been making this salad since the mid 80's. Back then it was called "Green Pig Salad." It's one of those salads that when people try it for the first time they almost always ask for the recipe.

[@laurakaszuba6785]

When I was growing up, my mother used to make this salad. At first I picked the pimentos out, but as I got older I ate them

[@pattieckert]

Yum Yum this is a staple side dish!! 😍

[@TheCookinCamper]

Love the big chunks of cheese!!!

[@valerieirvin249]

My mom's been gone for many years now but she made this pea salad. She always used to prettiest cut glass dishes to put food in n looked lovely on the table. Ohhhh memories, 👍💜

[@thomastommy1192]

[@bethwillard7795]

Blessings always 💯☝🏼🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@nancymiranda7523]

Oh I love pea salad all year round. yum :)

[@doglovr1173]

oh. I'm a California girl so all we had was Cliftons. It was always fun to go there with just the family or the extended family for celebrations.

[@vickiepatterson1748]

Yes, I'm very familiar with Luby's Cafeteria and Furr's too! And pea salad is something I would always get at both! But I don't recall the salads having bacon in them. And I see no problem adding bacon! I always loved the cubes of cheese and I think one of the cafeterias also added green olives. Most of the time we make this we used canned peas. Those tiny little tender peas. 😋 And there's nothing like pea salad in the spring and summer. Perfect for picnics or at a BBQ. 😁 We call them red onion here but I don't tolerate them too well. 😕 Especially raw. My sister just made pea salad last week. We both love and used to get it at the cafeterias all the time. I sure miss them. Pea salad is a great side when you don't know what to fix! Lots of good ingredients and it will always take you down memory lane. 😉 Thanks for sharing another great recipe! 🥰

[@janicewilliams2194]

Oh my goodness. I want to try this. The title sounds so good. Thank you for sharing.

[@melstark7265]

Lucy’s made the best pea salad with big pieces of cheddar cheese!

[@kimberlyperkins2469]

This looks so good. My grandmother made this only for funeral but her version was a little different. Definitely, trying your recipe for Easter. Thank you

[@katherinehaught1324]

I grew up in Texas & loved to go to Luby’s. They had the best dishes ! I liked Furrs too but they were in New Mexico. I always called them red onions but my dad called them purple. Where are you from? I’m guessing Texas Yay! I have lived most of my life in Colorado but the 1st 28 years were in Texas, y’all. I miss the Whataburgers for sure & the good seafood. We lived in Port Arthur next to the coast. The best shrimp comes out of the Gulf of Mexico. Now l’m hungry for gumbo, YUMMY!L!L

[@patlytle1128]

Can omIt the cheese & add peanuts! Delicious!!

[@carolynhairgrove1824]

My father loved pea salad. Would make for him. When I wanted to go somewhere

[@sherryhutt859]

I love pea salad. We make it a little different than to do. Yours looks good too

[@margiemasih990]

This looks so good.i used to eat this in the pocket bread.oh so good

[@georgiastemmerich7749]

Hi Catherine I made this recipe before. Only mine calls for some boiled eggs in it. The dressing was same. It is a fantastic dish. In fact my husband has been asking for this dish. So thank you for sharing this recipe. Love the videos.

[@lorigibson9189]

My mom used to make this and I loved it . Peas are my favorite. I just made it from memory but it just didn't taste the same . Thank you Catherine, it was the BACON !!

[@andreamcdonald7291]

Looks really great!

[@kathrinekerns8398]

Luby's was always a favorite restaurant. Love this salad.

[@daphnewilburn5829]

Live this salad. Thank you

[@laurreneberry3480]

Beautiful and delicious. This salad got my son to eat peas back in 1980. Great salad and so tasty.

[@lisas6940]

My grandma used to make pea salad. I'm going to make this - it looks delicious!

[@joelconwell]

I am with you, I like cube cheese the best because the shredded gets mushy in a day or two

[@emilywhitfield2780]

One of my favorite cold salads! So easy to make and very delicious! Thanks!

[@dawnfoster2873]

I make a version of this but I use lettuce and call it layered salad. I use a 9 x 13 pan and layer the lettuce with peas and onion followed by spreading the dressing on top of that. I finish with shredded cheddar cheese and bacon on top. It’s one of my family’s favorite salads. I will definitely give your version a try!

[@lmbrtshrry]

Hmm. I've never seen it this way.

[@lorrainegutierrez4251]

MY FAVORITE!!!!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!

[@abedbush]

Catherine, this becomes even MORE yummy after it sits and marinades in the fridge while the flavors get acquanted with each other! :) I hope I still have some left for supper!

[@kathynewton9186]

[@cherylkelley1970]

My Mother used to make this. I made it for Thanksgiving. Hers was a basic receipe.

[@lovelife7249]

This looks absolutely delicious. For myself I would have to change the cubed cheese to shredded cheese. TFS

[@katherinehayes9110]

I would have to do grayed or shredded cheese too

[@conniemckown3871]

Great recipe Catherine I love the colors. Try adding a diced red pepper it will bring the colors and taste to a higher level. My family loves this recipe any time of the year.

[@bertabear74]

We don’t do onions anymore, too hard on the tummy, so I chop carrots and add them now to this salad, so good!

[@kathieschlosnagle8410]

Thank you, Catherine. I was looking for something different for my Easter dinner. That looks delicious!

[@blakethomas8897]

I love the sour cream in here super delishious

[@ccjdis]

Great camera work for close ups. Thanks.

[@abedbush]

I made this myself today, and it is DELICIOUS! I only made one minor alteration, I added about 1 tablespoon of fresh dill weed, which I feel made it even more delicious. This is a great recipe, thanks for sharing Catherine! I will definitely be adding this to my repertoire. I did add an entire red onion too instead of just 1/3rd of one but other than that I followed your recipe to the letter. DELICIOUS!

[@susanking8538]

Love the quality control!!!😂. Me too!

[@debbiepoulter2536]

I use shredded cheddar cheese for this recipe

[@caroljulian6505]
