                                     BY ROSIE RICKETTS MENCER

Ingredients:
Pea Salad
(Joan says: "The omission of tomatoes as my son, Andrew is not a
tomato fan and I added a layer of cucumbers.")

1 head shredded lettuce 
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3 large carrots chopped
1 large tomato chopped
1 small package frozen peas

Layer above items, one at a time,
in a large glass bowl.
Sprinkle with two tsp. sugar.

Ice with a mixture of:

1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise

Sprinkle on top of salad:
1 cup of shredded sharp cheddar 
 cheese
1 cup of crisp bacon crumbled
 (or bacon bits)
4 tsp. sugar

Rosie first brought this salad to a 
Ricketts Family Easter dinner and 
it soon became a "family favorite."

Buddy requested this recipe be 
added to the cookbook!
