GREEN PEA AND PASTA SALAD

Steps:
- 1. Rinse, drain, and thaw peas in a colander. While peas are thawing, cook pasta to al dente stage; drain and rinse pasta in cold water.
- 2. Gently toss together the peas, pasta, bacon, onion, cheese, and eggs (if used) in a large mixing bowl.
- 3. Combine dressing ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Fold dressing gently into peas, combining well. Turn mixture into a clear glass serving dish, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until serving time, at least 30 minutes.

My family loves the sharp cheddar. You can also use shredded cheese if it's more convenient. I do like the small cubes cut the size of the peas, just for presentation.
