Holiday Pea Salad

This is my own twist on my step-other Sharon's Pea Salad. I still make it every Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Ingredients
  • 2 cans small/early peas (drained)
  • 1 can diced pimentos (drained)
  • 1 medium red onion (chopped)
  • 1 bag of cubed colby jack cheese
  • pepperoncini (or banana pepper) rings
  • Miracle Whip
  • coarse ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Add as many pepperoncini peppers as you like - it will make the mix hotter, so use your judgement. Scoop in Miracle Whip and gently fold in until the mix is moistened throughout. Allow to chill for a few hours before serving.
Notes
This recipe tastes best if made 2-3 days before you serve it. If you don't like the tang of miracle whip, substitute half with mayo. You can also add a small splash of the pepper juice to kick it up a notch. If you like hard boiled eggs, they are a great addition.
