Notes

Tips:
Here are some helpful tips for making this classic pea salad:
  1. Customize to Your Taste: Classic pea salad recipes have evolved over time, and there are various ways to make it. Feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your preferences.
  2. Mayo Options: If you're not a fan of regular mayonnaise, you can use Miracle Whip or a mayo alternative of your choice. It's all about what you enjoy.
  3. Don't Overheat Peas: When warming the peas, be careful not to overdo it. You just need to thaw them, not make them piping hot. Keeping them cool will save you time when chilling the salad. If you accidentally heat them too much, simply chill the salad before serving.
  4. Storage: This pea salad can be refrigerated for up to 5 days when properly covered. Using an airtight container is recommended for freshness. Avoid freezing it, though, as the dairy in the salad may not freeze well.
