Creamy Bacon Pea Salad

  • Make ahead: Prepare the salad without the bacon. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Add bacon and a fresh sprinkle of herbs just before serving to keep it crisp.

  • No yogurt? Use all sour cream or add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise for a richer dressing.

  • Add crunch: Toss in 1/4 cup of toasted sunflower seeds or chopped pecans.

  • Protein boost: Stir in 1 cup of diced cooked chicken or ham to turn this into a main-dish salad.


Storage & Leftovers

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Note that the dressing will thin slightly as the peas release moisture – this is normal. Stir before serving. Do not freeze.
