Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon vinegar (I use balsamic)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • Ground pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon Maggi seasoning (optional, but easy to find in the spice section of the supermarket)
  • 1 10-ounce box tiny frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1 cup salted peanuts
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion (or 1 tablespoon grated red onion, if you don't want your kids to know it's in there)

Directions
  1. Whisk together mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, pepper, and Maggi until well combined.
  2. Gently stir in everything else.
  3. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving.
  4. Enjoy! :)

I love pea salad and this one sounds fantatic. You have my 5.


Like it too!


My mom made a similar salad called 3 P's

Peanuts, Peas, Pickles with a dressing similar to yours and it was crunchy and good.I bet yours is as well.


My family makes pea salad, it's always on our Thanksgiving table since I can remember and I am oldddddd. I have never heard of peanuts in it so I am eager to try this.


Very unusual...thanks for posting!


I make this sans the nuts-yummy stuff. Another winner GF.
