Sweet Pea Salad

One of our favorite salads to eat during the warm summer months. It is really good when you have peas freshly picked from the garden! But even if you don't, frozen peas is about as close as you can get for that good fresh taste.

Ingredients

8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
4 c. fresh garden peas or frozen sweet peas, defrosted, or canned sweet peas, drained
1 c. cheddar cheese, shredded or cut into small cubes
1 onion, diced
1 1/3 c. mayonnaise
1 Tbs. sugar
1 Tbs. vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Fry the bacon until crisp. Place on paper towels to drain and then crumple it when it has cooled sufficiently and put it in a large bowl.

In the same bowl as the bacon, add the peas, cheddar cheese, and onion. Stir gently to mix.

In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, sugar, and vinegar together until creamy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Pour the dressing over the bacon, peas, cheese and onion. Stir to combine.

Chill for at least an hour before serving.
