I make this recipe with fresh peas, just out of the shell. They are sweet and add a bit of crunch..

Layers of nutritious goodness, pretty to look at and even better to taste on a hot summer's day.

I took this salad to a bbq. Huge hit. I used miracle whip and it still tasted great. I also took out the mushrooms and added crisp head lettuce instead, very good.

I love this Salad, but my version has a layer of grated carrots and a layer of chopped green onions for more colour. I use just Mayo, no sour cream and I sprinkle celery salt on top of the mayo. It is delicious!
