Never had it made with peanuts tho. Have to give it a try. I do make it with shredded cheese though. Usually Velveeta. Tastes pretty good that way too.

A favorite that I dream about. I haven’t had it since I left home 50 years ago. I am adding it to my menu for this week. Can’t wait to taste home again.

Hi Marie!
I LOVE this so much! Thanks for taking the time to share it with me. My grandmother loved making this salad for all of us and would be in her 90’s had she lived. She lived in Texas for a while and I wonder if that is where she got this recipe. It really is so good and holds so many special memories for our family.
Let me know how you like it!
Happy Nesting!

I thought her memory was going but looked it up and Voila! – this recipe just like mom remembered. It sounds refreshing and I’ll definitely try it!

I grew up in a “Miracle Whip” home but found out as I grew older that mayonnaise is just needed in some recipes. I still like Miracle Whip in others. That said, my question is not with the mayo vs. Miracle Whip as much as it is with the peas. I don’t like canned peas. Do you think defrosted and thoroughly dried frozen peas would work as well?
