The college sorority I was involved with during college gave etiquette lessons each week as part of our Monday night meetings. This recipe was shared with us on one such occasion by our house mother, Mama Lou, as an ideal side for luncheons. Easy, light, & flavorful!

1

Place peas in a colander & rinse with cool water to de-thaw. Allow to drain and dry for a minute.
2

Combine in a medium mixing bowl all ingredients: peas, mayonnaise, cheese, onions, dill, watercress, garlic powder, salt & pepper. (If peas are still damp pat them dry with a clean cloth before adding.)
3

Gently fold together until well mixed and everything is coated in mayonnaise.

Chill for a few hours covered before serving to let the flavors meld together. Keeps for several days in the fridge & great to make ahead.
