Do you ever suddenly recall a recipe you haven't had for years? That's recently happened to me with pea pasta salad. I haven't made, or eaten, the dish for such a long time. In fact, it's been years so I decided to whip-up a bowl to go with our dinner this evening.
Pea Pasta Salad
8 ounces small pasta, prepared al dente
(macaroni or bow, for example)
1/2 cup (or more) shredded sharp cheese
1/2 cup, young canned peas drained
(or fresh or frozen)
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Dressing:
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 T. apple cider vinegar
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
Prepare the pasta, rinse and set aside. Add, cheese, peas and bacon. Whisk together dressing ingredients and stir into salad ingredients. For a creamier salad, prepare an additional half-recipe of dressing to use. Allow to chill well before serving. Promptly refrigerate leftovers in a covered container.
Enjoy!
