Pea Salad...

For some reason I only make this for 'bring a side' events.  I'm not sure I've ever made it just for home.  Frozen peas tend to come in 16 ounce bags so I usually make one and half of this recipe.

Pea Salad
a recipe from the Horjus Kitchen

In a bowl mix together:

1/3-1/2 cup mayo
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sugar
pepper to taste

To the dressing add:

1 cup diced cheddar
1 stalk celery, diced
1/4 cup sweet pickle, diced (approximately 3)
2 hard boiled eggs, diced
10 ounces frozen green peas, thawed under running water and drained

Notes:
I like to mix the egg yolk in with the dressing.
If you have the time/compulsiveness it's nice if everything is diced the same size as the peas.  (Well, within reason, no need to get crazy but really...why not dice everything to the same exact size making each spoonful the perfect balance of all the ingredients...)
