CRUNCHY PEA SALAD (HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH)
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!
Tips:
- For the freshest and most flavorful salad, use fresh peas. If fresh peas are unavailable, frozen peas can be used instead. Just be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Make sure to drain the peas thoroughly before adding them to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- To add a bit of extra crunch to the salad, try adding some chopped celery or carrots.
- If you don't have Hidden Valley Ranch dressing, you can use another type of ranch dressing or even a vinaigrette.
- This salad can be served as a side dish or as a main course. It's also a great option for potlucks and picnics.
