We loved this. At first taste I thought it was too sweet, but the flavors kind of grow on you. I really enjoyed this. I only cooked my peas for a couple of minutes because I like them a little crisp in a salad like this. I did not use the nonfat or fat free ingredients because I didn't have them. This would be perfect for a barbeque get together. Thanks UPDATE: This is so much better after it sits in the refrigerator overnight. Dave just raved about it. Thanks

Delightful recipe - one that would suit a picnic, BBQ, family function or potluck really well to! I made this exactly as directed (used Equal in place of sugar though)- lovely! Then I added a bit of shredded cheddar to my second helping for a little extra - I think this has potential for lots of variations/add-ins. What a great recipe - thanks Brenda!!!
