Bacon Pea Salad image

My husband absolutely loves peas. My middle son isn't the biggest fan, but he loves bacon. So, I combined the two, and it was perfect! This pea salad is an awesome side dish, especially for barbecue. -Angela Lively, Conroe, Texas

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very tasty and it's not very filling.

This salad is very bland. I would add some more salt and pepper to the dressing next time.

This salad is very easy to make, but it's not very flavorful. I would add some more herbs or spices to the dressing next time.

This salad is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar in the dressing next time.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover Easter ham. I chopped up some ham and added it to the salad, and it was delicious.

I'm not a fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It was still delicious!

This salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of sweet peas, salty bacon, and tangy dressing. I'll definitely be making it again.
