What a nice change for green peas. Used roasted peanuts and red onion; otherwise made as directed. Had hoped to get a picture, but it was gone before I could get one. My hubby also liked this dish even though he is not a huge "pea" fan. Thanks for the post! Made for Everyday is a Holiday tag, January, 2012.

Couldn't be easier. I used party peanuts instead of the Spanish peanuts because I hate peanut skins! My bag of peas was 12oz and I didn't use all the peanuts in the 12oz container. My gramps who is nut crazy, loved this dish!

I used low fat miracle whip, red onion and honey roasted peanuts. Great favor! Nice summer side dish, great for a picnic, or BBQ! Thank You!
