Grandma Mildred’s PEA ‘n PEANUT SALAD

Sharing is caring!

GRANDMA MILDRED’S PEA ‘N’ PEANUT SALAD:

My Grandmother Mildred is an AMAZING cook and quite possibly my favorite person on this earth. She is kind and caring, yet funny and sassy. She has the strongest testimony and you can feel her love of her Savior radiate from her. I feel so lucky to have her in my life!

FAMILY RECIPE:

This PEA ‘n PEANUT SALAD came from her. Five years ago she came to stay with me for a week and I helped her put together a cookbook with all her BEST recipes. She gave a copy to all her kids and grandkids for Christmas several years ago. It took a lot of time and effort but was so worth it. I CHERISH THIS BOOK!

COOKING THROUGH THE BOOK:

Grandma Mildred’s PEA ‘n’ PEANUT SALAD was the first recipe I tried from the cookbook because it was something different, sounded delicious and looked like I couldn’t mess it up and I was right! It was easy to throw together and is so tasty. I took it to a BBQ with friends and was asked for the recipe several times.

WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE GRANDMA MILDRED’S PEA ‘N’ PEANUT SALAD:

The ingredients are simple.

• BACON
• Peas
• Peanuts
• Celery
• Red onion
• Mayo
• Zesty Italian dressing.

Easy peasy! My Grandma is a huge fan of BACON! In fact, she said if she had to pick one meat to be left on the earth there would be no question, it would be BACON! Let’s talk about Mayo for a second too. The best mayo is Hellmann’s and I’m not sure why, but to me it tastes SO much better than other brands I’ve tried. Best Foods is a close second where Hellmann’s isn’t available.

LET’S MAKE IT:

I went right ahead and threw the peas in frozen and let them thaw in the bowl. Because the peanuts can get soft, if I am making this ahead to take to a party or something I wait to add the peanuts at the last minute so they are nice and crunchy. Just put all ingredients in a bowl and stir! Can it get any more simple than that?

RECIPE:

There are so many great textures and flavors in Grandma Mildred’s PEA ‘n PEANUT SALAD. Did I mention BACON? Here is the recipe straight from the book. I used Heritage Makers to create the book and it is such great quality, is wipeable, and CUTE!

Take this to your next BBQ and have the recipe ready to share because you will absolutely be asked for it.

It is as good as it looks!  We hope you give Grandma Mildred’s Pea ‘n’ Peanut Salad a try and love it as much as we do.
