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.

• ·         1 package of frozen sweet peas
• ·         2 cup package of shredded cheddar cheese
• ·         1 Bottle or package of “Real Bacon” (bits)  do not use imitation
• ·         1 few leaves of romaine lettuce
• ·         1 cup of mayo

1. Put the peas in a colander and rinse with cold water to take the chill of them and so they don’t stick together
2. This is a layer dish
3. Start with romaine lettuce tear into squares , and lay on bottom of bowl  2-3 quart
4. Next the peas a layer of them
5. Coat with a layer of the mayo
6. Sprinkle some cheese
7. Then sprinkle bacon
8. Repeat again starting with the lettuce,  peas, mayo, cheese, bacon (repeat once more)
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)
12. It does not look the preeties but super yummy

***** Please make sue you do not leave this salad sitting in the sun since it has mayo!
