Bacon Ranch Pea Salad

This easy pea salad with ranch dressing came about in an attempt to satisfy my son who loves peas and my husband who doesn't. It has become a huge hit. You may want to double the recipe if you want any leftovers!

Ingredients :

• 4 slices bacon
• 1 quart water
• 1 (16 ounce) package frozen green peas
• ⅓ cup chopped onions
• ½ cup Ranch dressing
• ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions :

1. Place bacon in a skillet over medium-high heat, and cook until evenly brown. Drain, crumble, and set aside.
2. Bring water to a boil in a pot. Boil peas, 1 minute, until just tender, and drain. Cool peas under cold running water.
3. In a bowl, toss together bacon, peas, onion, ranch dressing, and Cheddar cheese. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until chilled before serving.
