Crunchy Creamy Green Pea and Peanut Salad

Another winner dinner idea inspired by my CSA veg box:  Fresh english peas, celery, and purplette onions brought me to this recipe, which we enjoyed poolside with some sourdough bread and watermelon.


for the salad:

  • 1 (20-oz.) pkg. frozen green peas (or fresh, blanched and cooled) 
  • 1 cup chopped celery 
  • 1/3 cup chopped red onion 
  • 1 cup dry roasted peanuts
  • 6 slices thick cut bacon, cooked & crumbled 

for the dressing:

  • 1/3 cup sour cream 
  • 1.5 tablespoons mayonnaise 
  • 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 
  • 2 teaspoons sugar 
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper, to taste 

instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, and sugar.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen green peas, celery, and onion. Pour the dressing over the top, and toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least two hours.
  3. Before serving, stir in the crumbled bacon and roasted peanuts. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
