Back in our camping days, we used to stop at a little Mom & Pop grocery store where they sold homemade salads. One of our favorites was a green pea salad with bacon and cheese. I’ve tried many recipes trying to find one that closely resembled the pea salad that we enjoyed and finally, came across this gem. It’s creamy and delicious, simple to put together and is a perfect side for any dish. I’ve found that if you chill this salad overnight, it’s even more flavorful as all the ingredients meld together. Thanks to The Recipe Critic for sharing this recipe.
