Advantages: cheap, easy to make, quick

Disadvantages: can be dry if you do not add enough mayo

One of my all time favorite salad is pea salad. It is super easy to make and does not really cost a lot either. It goes great with hamburgers, steaks, lunch meat sandwiches, pizza, chicken. You name it and it will go with it.
First of all you want to boil some water and add a 10 ounce package of pasta. You can use any pasta shape you like- elbow, spiral, shell, wagon wheels. Bring the noodles to a full boil and cook until tender. Then you will want to drain and rinse well in cold water until cool to the touch.
Open a can of peas and drain them very well. Once to noodles are cool, add the can of peas. Mix in about a tablespoon of yellow mustard and about a cup of mayonnaise. This may not be enough mayo, but judge accordinly. I like mine full of mayo so it is not dry. I also add about a tablespoon or two of milk to keep it moist.
Add one cup of shredded cheddar cheese and a squirt of sweet pickle relish. Mix it up well and chill for a few hours.

Summary: This is one great salad.
