Tips:

  • Don't overcook the peas. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • To make the bacon ranch dressing, use a good quality mayonnaise and sour cream. You can also add other ingredients to the dressing, such as chopped fresh herbs, grated Parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • If you don't have time to make your own bacon ranch dressing, you can use a store-bought dressing instead.
  • Serve the pea salad immediately or chill it for later. It's a great make-ahead salad that's perfect for potlucks and picnics.
