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...

CRUNCHY PEA SALAD (HIDDEN VALLEY RANCH)

I got to taste this at a DAV (disabled American veterans) sponsored luncheon. It was really fantastic, so I asked for the recipe, never expecting to get it. I personally don't add the bacon because I don't need it...the salad is crunchy and nummy on it's own. I add the cashews before I serve so that they stay crunchy too.
