This Creamy Pea Salad is made with frozen green peas, cheddar, red onion and bacon tossed with light Ranch dressing. Great summer side dish for potlucks!
In a large mixing bowl, combine frozen peas (no need to thaw them), bacon, cubed cheddar and chopped onion. Toss gently.
In a measuring cup, combine mayo, sour cream, Ranch dressing, vinegar, salt, pepper and parsley. Mix well. Pour dressing over salad. Toss gently to coat.
Cover bowl with salad with saran wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
Notes
The reason I used frozen, green peas in this salad, is the texture. I like it better than from canned peas. You can use what you prefer, of course. Just make sure to drain and rinse them well before tossing with the rest of the ingredients. There is no need to thaw the frozen peas ahead of time. Simply mix everything together and by them time you are ready to serve this salad, the peas will be thawed.
