Most kids like peas and when you combine them with noodles, you have a winner, a vegetable delivery "system."
Recently I came across a recipe that has been around for decades, Pea, Cheese and Pickle Salad. I've always loved this recipe and was surprised to find a ready-made version in the deli section of my supermarket. Since I had some leftover cut spaghetti (long noodles cut into one-inch pieces) on hand, I decided to add them to the deli salad.
But the mayonnaise dressing was too thick, so I thinned it with some coleslaw dressing. What a sweet combination! I snacked on the salad all day. In fact, I couldn't seem get enough of it.
