Mama made this salad a family tradition during the holidays, and we just loved its fresh taste. Now I have the responsibility to make it and I haven't changed a thing. It just reminds me of home. Now my grown children expect it at our holidays together and it reminds them of their Gran. Enjoy!

1.13.17 My apples were succulently sweet, so I didn't add the optional sugar, and I cut back on the amount of mayo (personal taste preference). The apples add nice flavor to this classic pea salad.

Nice salad. Very easy to make. I added salt to taste. Would go well with almost any Summer BBQ menu.

This was very good. For more crunch I added 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/2 cup chopped sweet red onion. Also, I mixed 1/4 cup sour cream with 1/4 cup mayo instead of just mayo. Turned out perfect.
