Has anyone had this? It sounds very good. It's from the Pioneer Woman. I might play around with the ingredients a little, substituting green olives for the bacon.

PEA SALAD

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup Sour Cream
• 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
• Salt And Pepper
• 1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
• 4 cups Frozen Green Peas, Almost Totally Thawed
• 8 slices Bacon, Cooked Until Crisp And Chopped
• 1/2 whole Small Red Onion, Halved And Sliced Very Thin
• 6 ounces, weight Cheddar Or American Cheese, Cut Into Small Cubes
• 3 Tablespoons Minced Fresh Parsley

Preparation:

Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and vinegar together to make the dressing. Add more salt and pepper to taste.

Stir 2/3 of the dressing into the peas until the peas are coated. Gently stir in the bacon, onion, cheese, and parsley until all combined. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2 to 4 hours before serving. (Pop the extra dressing in the fridge, too.)

Remove from the fridge and stir in the rest of the dressing to your liking. Sprinkle with more parsley before serving.

Here om SW Virginia this is at every church potluck and family reunion I have been too. It is delicious.

I've made this for YEARS! You can also use canned peas.

I love to make it in the summer, I've never added bacon and it's still really good.

Thanks, Goldenlocks and RACA. I was hoping to make a vegetarian version. I appreciate the suggestions.

I've had a recipe similar for 35 years. The only thing is no vinegar or parsley in mine. It's delicious. The key is frozen or fresh peas. Don't use canned peas or you will end up with mush. This is my favorite summer salad to take to potlucks.

This salad has been popular around here for a long time, and usually has boiled eggs, green onions, shredded cheese and a dressing with mayo, sugar and vinegar. I make it without the eggs, but add bacon and pimentos to the onions and cheese. I only eat it the way I make it, as I am allergic to egg whites and milk, so I totally avoid sour cream.
