Yield: 1 Servings
Measure | Ingredient |
---|---|
1 pack | (10 oz) frozen green peas; thawed |
¼ cup | Chopped onion |
½ small | Green pepper; chopped |
1 large | Rib celery; chopped |
1 can | (6 oz) sliced water chestnuts, drained |
1 tablespoon | Sugar |
4 ounces | Cottage cheese |
¼ cup | Mayonnaise |
½ cup | Shredded Mozarella cheese (up to 3/4) |
2 tablespoons | Real bacon bits |
1. Combine cottage cheese, sugar, and mayonnaise. Blend well in blender, or with hand-held drink mixer, until smooth. Set aside.
2. Combine peas, onion, green pepper, celery, and water chestnuts. Blend well. Pour into clear serving bowl. Add cheese/sugar/mayo mixture. Stir to coat
3. On top, place moxarella cheese and bacon bits.
Now...What I'm doing differently.....
1. I will add about 3-4 sliced radishes to the pea mixture for color.
2. I will line a salad bowl with red leaf lettuce, and spoon the pea salad into that.
3. I will slice 5-6 cherry tomatoes in half and sprinkle on top with the mozarella and bacon bits.
Pam, I have used this recipe so many times, and it's been passed around countless others....thank you, my friend, for a wonderful recipe.
