Grocery List
  • 6 c. peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 4-6 slices thick cut bacon
  • ½ red onion
  • 6 oz. Feta cheese
  • 1 c. mayonnaise
  • 2 T. white wine vinegar
  • 1-2 T. sugar
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Here's how...
  1. From frozen, add 6 cups of green peas and 1 cup of water to a medium pot over high heat. When the liquid boils, cook for 3-4 minutes and immediately remove to a bowl of ice water to retain the beautiful green color and cool the peas quickly. After a few minutes, strain the water.
  2. Fry 4-6 slices of bacon and drain on paper towel.
  3. Thinly slice ½ of a red onion and place it in a bowl with cold water to soak and help calm the bite of the raw onion.
  4. Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper.
  5. Add the cold peas to the dressing as well as the chopped bacon, red onions, and 6 oz. crumbled Feta cheese. Stir gently to combine and then refrigerate for a couple hours to let all of the flavors happily marry.
  6. Before serving, stir to bring the dressing to the top, check for the need for any more salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh mint or parsley.
