In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, curry powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3
Add the frozen peas, chopped green onions, chopped water chestnuts, chopped red bell pepper, and chopped fresh cilantro to the bowl.
4
Gently fold the salad into the mayonnaise dressing. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.
5
Refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld.
