ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup dried split peas
- 1 medium head cauliflower, trimmed and cut into bite-size florets
- 2 1⁄2 cups broccoli, trimmed and cut into bite-size florets
- 1 medium red onion, chopped
- 1 1⁄2 cups cheddar cheese, diced
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 3 slices crisply cooked bacon, crumbled
- 1 1⁄2 cups grape tomatoes, sliced in half (optional)
- 3⁄4 cup mayonnaise (no substitutes, please)
- 1 1⁄2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ground pepper, to taste
directions
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add peas, reduce heat to a slow boil for approximately 25 minutes, until barely tender, drain and cool (1/2 cup split peas will basically double in size after cooking).
- In a large bowl, mix together cauliflower, broccoli, onion, cheese, crumbled bacon and tomatoes. Add cooled peas.
- Mix dressing together in a medium size bowl and check for taste before putting it on the salad. Add more lemon juice if you want the dressing to challenge your taste buds a little.
- Cover and refrigerate prior to serving, anywhere from 3 – 24 hours for the best flavor.
