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.

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

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.
