Mother's Pea Salad

This was a recipe that my Mother fixed quite often, she loved it. I usually take it to showers and potlucks, always get requests for the recipe. Was requested by so many people at church that we finally put it in the newsletter. I think you will like this, it is different from most pea salads.
