I haven’t made it yet but it sounds DELICIOUS! I will update this once I do. It says 10 servings but does anyone know the serving size? I’m making this for a small party and want to make sure I have enough.

This one is a on a regular rotation for us. Peas (Legumes) are an inexpensive source of protein, vitamins, complex carbohydrates, and fiber. Changes I generally make. 1. Reduce the amount of Mayo 2. Omit the Rasins (love them but always running out) or substitute crasins. 3. Bacon – – okay without but Amazing with. 4. Toss with peas still frozen if not in a hurry.

I added celery and green onions and removed the seeds and raisins, added 2 boiled eggs made a dressing using mayo and mustard sweet pickle a little sugar and set for about 4 hours to get cold. Was just fine. My husband said next time make a double batch

This was scrumptious! I did have to omit the sunflower seeds because I can’t eat them, but I’m sure that they would have given it the crunch that I was looking for. This will be the dish I take to my next pot luck or family get together!
Michael Conner
I did make this recipe as instructed but I found it just too bland for my taste. not everything is better with bacon.
Anthony Ortiz
Overall, great, but I’d leave the sunflower seeds out next time.
John Garcia
This is an awesome recipe because it’s different. I made it exactly to recipe and it was excellent. Next time I’m going to have to make more, everyone kept coming back for more.
Arthur Taylor
Delicious! Easy to make
Jenna Orozco
Made the recipe per instructions. Found that it was incredibly dry. Did not have any additional mayonnaise, so I added an additional 3/4 of a cup of sour cream. Made it much more moist and creamy. Delicious.
Justin Page
Absolutely amazing! I would not change a thing!
Heather Silva
Instead of peas I used carrots and then left out the sunflower seeds but substituted peanuts no onions but put in chunks of cookie dough … It was ok but not everyone liked it
Jessica Quinn
Made as written, excellent recipe!
John Dean
Delicious. made it following recipe as is
Andrew Brown
Made this almost completely to the recipe. I don’t like raisins, so therefore I had none. But even without them this recipe is so good and will become a standard one in our home.

I do NOT recommend that you make this for a party or gathering of some kind. When you are done preparing it, you have to taste it to ensure it is worthy of putting your name on (like any good chef would). One taste bite leads to a second, third,,,,,,, next thing you know, you have polished off more than half of it. I stuck to the recipe and it is fantastic. My wife HATES peas. I mean won’t eat them if they are the only thing left between her and starvation. So I gave her a blind taste test and even she LOVED it.

Yum, this was pretty good! I didn’t get to make it exactly like the recipe since I didn’t have raisins. But it was still great without them. I think dried cranberries would go well in it also. I did add in a touch more sugar. Very good and I can’t wait to make it again sometime. Thanks for the recipe!

Everyone loved this. First time I made it. Used the “real” bacon bits in a bag and did add the raisins. It is a keeper.
