Old-Timey Pea Salad

Who hasn't gone to a summer time potluck and had a pea salad with chunks of cheese, in a creamy dressing? It really seems like a midwestern delicacy.




I recently bought a bag of fresh English peas with no real intention of using them for anything... they just looked good. It didn't take me long to be transported to time several years ago when I had that old fashioned pea salad... I started to wonder if it could be veganized. Folks, here's my version.
