Submitted by Cherylcm

"This is a well loved pea salad served at Clinkerdagger's Restaurant. I got this recipe from our local newspaper."

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 9
• Serves: 8

ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup mayonnaise
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream
• 1 teaspoon white pepper
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 4 ounces snow peas, but and strings removed
• 3 1⁄2 lbs frozen baby peas, thawed but not cooked (see note)
• 5 ounces water chestnuts, sliced
• 3 ounces bacon, cooked crisp and chopped 1/4-inch pieces
• 2 1⁄2 ounces red onions, 1/4-inch dice

directions

1. Blend together mayonnaise, sour cream, white pepper and salt. Combine snow peas, baby peas, water chestnuts, bacon and red onions with dressing until ingredients are well coated.
2. Refrigerate at least 24 hours before serving. Stir twice each day to redistribute dressing.
3. Note: Peas must be naturally thawed. Slow thawing under refrigeration is best. Room temperature is acceptable, but do not place in water. Place the thawed peas on paper-towel lined pans and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to purge the remaining excess moisture from the peas. If peas are not thoroughly thawed or have been thawed in water and not properly drained, they will dilute the dressing.
4. Yield: 8 servings.
