SOUTHERN ENGLISH PEA SALAD RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Everything is pretty much just stirred together but it's very important that the peas be as dry as possible to prevent the mayo from watering. What I do is, after draining them well in a colander I lay the peas out on a jellyroll pan that has been lined with several layers of paper towels (then just fold them up in the towels to transfer to the mixing bowl with the remaining ingredients.) *Can add a little chopped sweet pickle or finely diced raw onion, but we like it better without. Garnish top with an additional sliced hard-boiled egg, if desired. Keep refrigerated.

GRANDMA WESEMAN'S ENGLISH PEA SALAD

Steps:

• It is important that you let the salad stand in the refrigerator for at least an hour or so, otherwise, it will not taste right as the onions are the only thing that flavors the dressing.
• Grandma always made it with Miracle Whip, but if you are one of those folks who despises the taste, you can substitute mayonnaise with 1-2 tablespoons of sugar added. You can also, add in 2 Tbsps Hormel real bacon bits for extra flavor.
• Mix all. Let stand for a minimum of two hours in the refrigerator.
• Sprinkle top with paprika for garnished look.
• Cook time is chill time in refrigerator.
