Ingredients

Servings

Pea Salad:

  • 4 Bacon cooked and chopped, thick cut, strips
  • 20 ounces peas frozen
  • ½ cup red onion finely chopped
  • cup dried cranberries or raisins
  • ½ cup pecans chopped, raw

Dressing:

  • cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 ½ Tbsp avocado oil
  • 2 Tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice
  • 2 tsp pure maple syrup
  • ½ tsp salt to taste, sea salt
  • 1 garlic minced, large clove

Instructions

  1. If you're using frozen peas, bring them out of the freezer and thaw them completely. To speed up the process, transfer the peas to a colander and run hot water over them.
  2. Cook the bacon until crispy, then transfer to a cutting board and allow it to cool. Once cool, chop it up into small bits. 
  3. Stir together the ingredients for the dressing in a mixing bowl until completely combined.
  4. Add in the remaining ingredients for the salad, and stir until everything is well coated.
  5. Taste the pea salad for flavor and add more sea salt to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  6. Note: The pea salad becomes more flavorful as it sits over time! If you can, make it 6 to 24 hours in advance. If you are making it in advance, add the chopped bacon and pecans just before serving so that the texture stays nice and crunchy.
