Ingredients

  • 4 cups frozen green peas
  • 1/2 cup carrots, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup red peppers, finely diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced tips & tricks
  • 1/4 cup radishes, finely diced
  • 3/4 cup ranch dressing, or more to taste see Recipe
  • 4 slices cooked maple bacon, chopped into small pieces tips & tricks
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped tips & tricks

Directions

  • In a pot over high heat, bring 2 cups of water to a boil before adding frozen peas. Stir and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes at the most.
  • Remove from the heat and drain very well. To stop the cooking process, pour in cold water and swirl them around for a few seconds. Drain them and add more cold water, moving them around and draining them again – they need to be at room temperature.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add drained peas, carrots, red peppers, celery and radishes. Mix until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Add ranch dressing to the veggies and stir until everything is well coated.
  • Add bacon and some fresh chopped dill. Enjoy immediately or chill until ready to serve
