Grandma T's Pea Salad

One of My grandma's many wonderful recipes. This is a traditional holiday dish in our family. It is also a great recipe for a cookout or covered dish supper. It is a little different from the other pea salad recipes that are posted. For best flavor make this recipe the night before serving or several hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Ingredients
