Oh my GOODNESS! Thank you so much. This is the first time my kids have not complained about eating peas. And my husband loved it! This is a keeper, I can see me taking it to potlucks and barbecues as well as making it a part of our home menu. I used purple onion for color and sweetness and peppercorn ranch dressing because that's what I had (it added a bit of a spicy kick), I think any ranch dressing, such as the three cheese brand from Kraft would work well. This is awesome! Thanks again.

This salad was great. Nice and Light and required little ingridients which was perfect if havnt been to the store yet. The only thing I would do is maybe chop up some hard boiled eggs. Thanks it was delicious :)

When I first saw this recipe, I thought the bacon was red peppers - which gave me an idea. I follwed the recipe as given, but added red peppers, crushed garlic (which I mixed in the mayonnaise), crushed pepper and a bit of mint. I left out the cheese. For some reason, the cheese part didn't appeal to me. I took the pea salad to a BBQ last night and got the thumbs up all round. The pea mix, as someone called it was picked out and raved about which must have been a good thing as there were other salads there too!

This was great. I wasn't sure I'd like the ranch dressing but it was better than mayonaisse. I also did as others suggested and just ran hot water over the frozen peas and then spun out excess water with my salad spinner. I also added a scant Tbs. sugar before mixing it up and added some chopped celery for crunch. It was a big hit but not enough. Be sure to double the recipe.

OK, a "son who loves peas" -- let's talk about THAT! Good job! My mom made a pea salad with cheese cubes, green olives and walnuts which is one of my favorites, but this is just different enough to make it into the rotation. Thanks!

I've made this salad with fresh peas (blanched) and frozen (thawed and well-drained) and it's good both ways. I like to use red onions for color. This is divine served with tomatoes. I have served it stuffed in fresh tomatoes, over sliced tomatoes or tossed with halved grape tomatoes. I usually skip the cheese all together.

I loved the flavors in this dish. Just for the fun of it I'm going to try different types of onions to see which one I like the best. It's so good, I'll be making it again and again.

This was just alright, not that great not that bad. I didn't have any red onion and I wish that I did for this. I will probably make again if I needed to use some peas up.

I used low-fat ranch dressing and fat free cheese. It was good. But I have to say it was better the 1st day than the 2nd or 3rd. But I will try this again and use some of the other idea's in the reviews.

i replaced the ranch dressing with a couple of heaping teaspoonfuls of mayo (my weird hubby hates ranch dressing!), used packaged bacon pieces instead of bacon and cut my cheddar cheese into small chunks rather than shredding it. i loved it, and ate every last bit of it!

I have to thank "RogerK" for his review; he suggested using a couple of chopped hard boiled eggs. I put them in mine and I am SO glad I did. It was a wonderful addition that I wouldn't have thought of on my own! I used "Kraft Light Ranch" dressing AND I added about half a packet of "Good Seasons" dry Italian dressing mix. (The name "Good Seasons" doesn't lie; this stuff adds the best seasoning to most everything I've tried it in). This is a 5 star recipe all the way around... flavor, ease of preparation and a pretty presentation for your next potluck dinner.

Very good, but the ranch dressing was a little overpowering. I personally prefer the Seven Layer Salad recipe to this - it has similar ingredients but its presentation is more attractive and the taste is creamier.

this was tasty! i made this the night before we were going to have it so the flavors could blend longer, and instead of blanching the peas i just tossed them in a bowl still frozen. i also used real bacon bits & hidden valley light ranch (was all we had on hand besides a few bottles of kraft ranch which would have ruined the salad in my opinion!) as well as green onion. i also mixed in 1/2 a cup of home made croutons about 30 minutes before serving and my husband and i loved it! this would also be good with cubed ham in place of (or in addition to) bacon as well as some chopped celery and carrots to go with it for crunch. i'll be making this again soon, thank you!

This is super easy to make, and to adjust to your tastes. I made this last night to have it ready for today, so I didn't cook the peas, they went in frozen out of the bag. I didn't exactly measure the rest of the ingredients, just mixed them in to what looked right to me. I used bottled Hidden Valley Ranch and in case the salad ended up being too Ranch-y, I started with less of that and had plain mayo or sour cream ready to add instead, but the ranch was perfect. Also used bac-os to save time, and per another reviewer's suggestion threw in some sunflower seeds. I've had a craving for pea salad lately and this hit the spot today - thanks for the recipe!

I love the pea salad they sell in the deli at my local grocery store, except for the fact that the bacon always seems rubbery. This was SOOOO much better! The only thing I'll do differently next time is I'll make fresh ranch dressing because the bottled stuff is too sweet. Thanks for a great recipe!

Exactly what I was looking for! Thank you. I made the salad almost directly from your recipe. I substituted green onions because I needed to use them up. Also, I made my Ranch dressing from the packet and substituted 1/2 sour cream for 1/2 of the mayo, just because we're not big mayo fans. The flavor enhanced overnight, just as other reviewers commented. Big success at our cookout. Thanks again!
