Cold Pea Salad

Jeremy: "This is really good.  It will be a great side to have this summer"

I love peas!  I could be perfectly content eating a bowl of peas with garlic salt on them for a meal.  Unfortunately my husband doesn't share my love of them .  So, I began looking for a cold pea salad recipe that would make my husband enjoy eating peas as much as I do.  I think I succeeded!  This recipe is very fast, easy, and refreshing. This particular recipe uses ranch dressing which was delicious.  Next time I will probably try plain yogurt instead in an attempt to make it healthier.

• 16 oz. frozen peas
• 9-10 slices turkey bacon
• 3 stalks celery
• 2 bunches green onion
• about 1/3 cup ranch dressing (try Annie's Cowgirl Ranch if you are going gluten-free)
• garlic salt to taste

1. Cook turkey bacon in skillet 5- 6 minutes.  Flipping often.  Allow to cool and cut in pieces.
2. Cook peas.  Put in strainer and run cold water over them to cool.  Allow to drain.
3. Chop celery and green onion.
4. Mix all ingredients together and cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
