Hidden Valley Ranch Crunchy Peas & Pepper Salad image

This is one of the salads I served with my Father's Day Dinner. A version of this recipe is listed in my cookbook "SHARING OUR FAVORITE RECIPES". I like to switch it up from time to time with different ingredients, I added sweet Red bell peppers this time as well as more green onions, and I used sun flower seeds this time...
