Ha ha. I had a gf from oklahoma whose mom made an old family recipe, "Pea Salad". Of course I'd never heard of pea salad. It is cubes of cheddar cheese, chopped iceberg lettuce, canned peas, and Miracle Whip.

That must be depression era food because it sounds depressing as hell.

I'm from Germany and I know a "rice salad" that is basically the same recipe, but instead of cheddar and lettuce, you put in rice (obviously cooked) and tuna. And a little bit of vinegar before mixing it, covering the bowl, and throwing it into the fridge until cool.

That said, most people I know, including myself, think it slaps.

Yeah, according to french or german criteria, that is a salad. And I'm sure we could find some store-bought salad dressing which remind this "miracle whip".

I'm not into store-bought dressing, but this salad sound good enough for me.

Miracle Whip is pretty similar to mayonnaise, though it has some slight differences. Don't just throw any regular old salad dressing in there, because if they are similar to what I know as salad dressing, then it's certainly going to end up back here in this community.

I haven't realized there is marshmallow in it just by looking at the picture. I am not putting vinegar on marshmallow, don't worry.
I go back on my word, that is not a salad and I don't wanna eat it at all.
