Catch-A-Cashew Salad

I make our hamburgers without buns now, sorta like a hamburger steak.  I use a bit more meat too.  Make 5 patties from 2lb ground beef.  Salt & pepper the tops good and bake in an oven until done.

1 1/2 c raw cashew pieces
1 1/2c frozen peas, thawed
5 small tomatoes, chopped

1/3c mayonnaise
1/3c olive oil

1 tbsp Dijon mustard
