Green Pea Salad
I love peas. This is different from my other recipe I have posted. I prefer to use this one as sort of a filling for a pita for lunch OR for a side dish at a potluck, party or cookout. Make this healthier by using turkey bacon or chopping the bacon first to render out more of the fat. Also, try using low fat mayo and sour cream. I never use fat free of both, but I will use low fat mayo and fat free sour cream to make it even better for me! From southern cooking.
