Pea Salad With Ham
Pea Salad is a great choice if you are looking for a quick and easy side dish. However, if peas aren't your thing, Broccoli Salad With Raisins and Nuts or Creamy Coleslaw with Bacon are also great.
Making this salad was so quick and easy. I used frozen peas, diced ham, diced red onion shredded cheddar. Mayonaisse and ranch dressing make it extra creamy and yummy.
This was the first time I ever made, in fact, I think this is the first time I ever ate pea salad. When I was looking for recipes, there were several versions of pea salad. Some had bacon, some were vegetarian. Most of them were made with mayonnaise or sour cream. I decided to take a little bit from each recipe and come up with my own version. I had ham on hand so decided to use it, my kids all love ranch so I figured why not?
