"This is an easy refreshing salad or sidedish. Very colorful and tasty."

ingredients

• 1 (15 ounce) can sweet peas, drained
• 1⁄2 cup cubed longhorn cheese
• 1⁄2 cup diced fresh tomato
• 2 diced hard-boiled eggs
• 1 tablespoon grated onion
• 2 -3 tablespoons mayonnaise (I prefer miracle whip)
• salt and pepper

1. Combine all ingredients in bowl. Chill and serve.

I'm from Oklahoma too and my grandmother made this for holidays. It's very good!

I love this salad! I have made this many, many times, except I never added tomatoes. Summer tomatoes (the real kind, not the plastic grocery store variety) add another delightful dimension. Very, tasty, and very pretty. You can't go wrong with this salad! Thanks for sharing!

I usually add a little chopped onion and pickle relish to mine and leave out the tomatoes unless I am using it immediately, as they tend to make it too soggy.

A delightfully different salad, DH loves canned peas, so this salad went over big!! The combination of peas, tomato, eggs and cheese is very tasty! Instead of grating the onion,( I dislike the juice it makes), I chopped the onion fine and I used light mayonnaise, only about 2 tablespoons. We will be making this again , thanks for sharing!!
