Directions
Peas, Pasta & Bacon Salad, When the temperature soars in the summer I can’t face hot meals and serve nothing but assortments of salads, cheese and cold cuts for days on end I value main course salads that will keep in the fridge from one meal to the next, and this one fits the bill Fresh peas are quite amazing, but expensive and time consuming to shell Frozen ones are not the same, but perfectly fine If you use frozen peas, prep time will be much quicker I have a big crop of snow peas this year; I think I will try them in this salad , We used 6 oz dry pasta, and had to double the dressing for the salad as it wasn’t enough We also left out the dried mint and didn’t use lemon wedges After that it had absolutely no flavor, so we doctored it up using cubed cheese and ranch dressing to taste After that it was excellent We will be making it our way again
