1can(6 oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained
1tablespoonSugar
4ouncesCottage cheese

Directions

1. Combine cottage cheese, sugar, and mayonnaise. Blend well in blender, or with hand-held drink mixer, until smooth. Set aside.

2. Combine peas, onion, green pepper, celery, and water chestnuts. Blend well. Pour into clear serving bowl. Add cheese/sugar/mayo mixture. Stir to coat

3. On top, place moxarella cheese and bacon bits.

Now...What I'm doing differently.....

1. I will add about 3-4 sliced radishes to the pea mixture for color.

2. I will line a salad bowl with red leaf lettuce, and spoon the pea salad into that.

3. I will slice 5-6 cherry tomatoes in half and sprinkle on top with the mozarella and bacon bits.

Pam, I have used this recipe so many times, and it's been passed around countless others....thank you, my friend, for a wonderful recipe.
