Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh lemons. If you only have bottled lemon juice, use half the amount called for in the recipe.
To make the salad ahead of time, cook the peas and bacon and let them cool completely. Then, assemble the salad and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you're ready to serve, bring the salad to room temperature for 30 minutes.
If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Use about 1/3 of the amount called for in the recipe.
This salad is also delicious with grilled chicken or shrimp.

Lemon pea salad is a refreshing and flavorful salad that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be served as a side dish or a main course. With its bright and tangy flavor, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
