Tangy Pea Bacon Salad

I always loved a Tangy Pea Salad when I was growing up. All the sweet peas that burst open with every bite are a summer staple to me..

My kids not so much.. They love the peas and tangy dressing, but would be ok without the rest. I should have made them a deconstructed Pea Salad, with Bacon and Cheddar optional.. One picked out all the bacon, and another the cheddar cheese cubes..lol..

I always use frozen sweet peas to make pea salad, since they always retain their shape so nicely, with a soft creamy center.  I made my dressing a little lighter using non-fat greek yogurt. I prefer to make Pea Bacon Salad recipe a few hours in advance to allow the flavors to mingle in the fridge.

There's probably a million different Pea Salad recipes, but here's how I made my Pea Salad recipe:

In a small bowl whisk together: 

• 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 2 tablespoons White Wine Vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon Granulated Garlic

Until well combined.

Allow 16 ounces Frozen Sweet Peas to thaw. 

Add: 

• 1 cup Cubed Cheddar Cheese
• 4 slices Cooked Chopped Bacon
• 2 tablespoons Chopped Parley

Add:

• 1/4 cup Chopped Jarred Roasted Red Peppers
• 1/4 cup Chopped Red Onion 

Toss with dressing, and refrigerate for a minimum of an hour to allow the flavors to mingle.
