How to make Make-Ahead Salad Casserole
Step 1: Whisk the mayonnaise, miracle whip, and sugar in a medium bowl. Season with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3: Add in the thawed and drained peas, then the diced Swiss Cheese, followed by the green onions.
Step 4: Drizzle the dressing over the mixture. Gently toss until all everything is coated evenly.
