Mom’s Layered Pea Salad

Today I have a family recipe that my mom has been making a long, long time. Layered Pea Salad, which is so delicious that people usually go back for seconds or thirds.  This is a recipe that she has made so many times she doesn’t need to use measurements, but I finally demanded that she write it down for the blog. Enjoy!
