GREEN PEA AND PASTA SALAD

Steps:

- 3. Combine dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Fold dressing gently into peas, combining well. Turn mixture into a clear glass serving dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until serving time, at least 30 minutes.

My family loves the sharp cheddar. You can also use shredded cheese if it's more convenient. I do like the small cubes cut the size of the peas, just for presentation.
