My Aunt Helen, Amy’s mom, made this salad. My mom, Ann, loved it so much, she got the recipe from her and makes it especially in the summer. I saw a pea salad similar to this recipe and thought I would make this easy and delicious salad for my Hubs. I called my mom and asked her where in the family it came from – she said Aunt Helen!!! So how cool is that? I have been making this for years and had no idea it wasn’t my mom’s original – I love my family!!!

INGREDIENTS

1 pound of bacon, cooked according to package instructions, drained and crumbled or finely chopped

1 Head Iceberg Lettuce

2 cans Le Sueur Baby Young Peas, drained – the secret to this great salad

1 cup coarsely grated sharp Cheddar cheese

1 medium sweet onion, peeled, and finely chopped

3/4 cup of mayonnaise – we use Duke’s

Salt and Pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Core and clean Iceberg Lettuce. Drain all water off and shred into 2 inch pieces in a large bowl. Add drained peas, bacon, cheddar cheese, onion and mayonnaise. Mix well and then salt and pepper to taste. Cover and store in the refrigerator.

Ya’ll Enjoy – and thank Aunt Helen for such a great recipe!!!
