Introduction

Not your average summer salad, this is a healthy take on a much higher calorie version served long ago at the Heidel House in Green Lake, WI. It works well instead of coleslaw or potato salad at a cookout or picnic.

    Preferred to use cottage cheese and liked it a lot, that allowed me to skip yogurt and Mayo, would never have thought of it. - 1/29/12

    This was delicious! I used fat free mayo instead of regular and it worked just fine. I think this may be my preferred way of eating peas now : ) - 11/6/07

    I think I'll be taking this one to the next picnic. It is very yummy. I used 1/2 kg of peas since the package size was not listed. I didn't let it sit before eating & it is just fine.

    I didn't think I was going to like this since the combo sounds interesting. I did add two things. I increased the amount of dill in the recipe and I added 1.5 cups of semi steamed chopped carrots. I preferred the dash of color. - 7/11/07
