So when I was living in Florida I met Wendy Henderickson.   She was such a fun person she was from Tenn,  we met though our love of Dogs .  She trained he pit bull to be a therapy dog, I had my doberman that was a therapy dog.  So because were Northern ex pats and had no family south,  we would spend alot of holidays together.   Wendy would always make her husbands favorite pea salad,  it was his moms recipe.   I loved it every time she did.  Now that I retreated back up north.  The Hendrickerson Pea Salad is a staple in my summer party recipe repertoire.

  9. Finish with garnish of cheese and bacon
  10. Let sit over night or a good couple of hours to chill up again.
  11. Mix an hour before serving ( I actually prefer it made ahead and it is better the second day- Left overs)

    1. Stephanie- The form is to entered for the twitter party tonight 9est .. so I hope you will join us to benefit the Jersey Shore. I am sorry it was not more clear.

  4. Your salad looks GREAT! Perfect addition to my favorite summertime activity which is making cool, refreshing food to eat outside by a campfire. 🙂

  10. Ok, so.. I’m going to come out and say it. Peas are not my best friends. I think they’re the only veggie I’m kind of.. ehhhhh.. about. However, you just dumped bacon and cheese on them. How can that be bad? 😀

  11. This sounds a lot like 7-layer salad. Without the hard boiled eggs. Going to try this since my hubby and I enjoy that salad and we both love frozen peas cold. Thanks for the recipe!
