CRUNCHY PEA SALAD (HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH)



Crunchy Pea Salad (Hidden Valley Ranch) image

I got to taste this at a DAV (disabled American veterans) sponsored luncheon. It was really fantastic, so I asked for the recipe, never expecting to get it. I personally don't add the bacon because I don't need it...the salad is crunchy and nummy on it's own. I add the cashews before I serve so that they stay crunchy too.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine all ingredients. Chill. Garnish with crumbled bacon before serving if desired. I never did, the salad is incredible as it is!

CRUNCHY PEA SALAD



CRUNCHY PEA SALAD image

Categories     Salad     Vegetable

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 frozen peas ( 10 oz. box, thawed and drained )
1 cup peanuts
1/2 cup craisins
1/4 cup green onion ( chopped )
1 pound cooked bacon ( crumbled )
1 cup craisins
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon sugar
1 to taste ground red pepper
1/8 teaspoon soy sauce ( even amounts of soy sauce and worcestershire s )
1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
1 cup cauliflower ( chopped, optional )
1/2 cup celery ( optional)

Steps:

  • Whisk together the mayonaise, vinegar, sugar, pepper and Maggi seasoning together in a bowl. Add the mixture to the other ingredients and toss well. Chill for at least 1 hour before serving!

Tips:

  • For the freshest and most flavorful salad, use young, tender peas. If you're using frozen peas, thaw them completely before adding them to the salad.
  • If you don't have fresh mint, you can use dried mint instead. Just be sure to use half the amount, as dried mint is more concentrated.
  • To make the salad ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients except the peas and dressing. Cover the salad and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, add the peas and dressing and toss to combine.
  • This salad is also a great way to use up leftover ham. Just chop the ham and add it to the salad along with the peas.
  • For a vegetarian version of this salad, omit the ham.

Conclusion:

Crunchy pea salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It's also a great way to use up leftover ham. With its combination of fresh peas, crunchy vegetables, and tangy dressing, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
