@Noel7 Thanks for this recipe. I've had it at many Easter gatherings but never knew the recipe, my folks didn't like peas but like y'all, peas signal Spring to me. I'm definitely making this for Easter.

We used to have something a little like this growing up but it was layered and had iceberg lettuce. The peas would thaw and crisp the lettuce even more. We didn't add cheese. It would be even better with it.
