Yummy No Cook Side Dish

When the weather warms up, the last thing I want to do is heat up the kitchen. We are camping this Father's Day weekend and a number of friends are getting together for dinner. We all bring something and have great fellowship and fun.

I decided to make this Pea Salad - no cooking involved. This makes a large serving, so if you are making it for your family, you probably want to cut it in half.

You can always add bacon bits to this salad. I am not a big onion fan so sometimes I leave the onion out and add the bacon bits. My friend is a vegetarian so I left out the bacon bits this time.

Directions:

1. Place frozen peas in a colander, rinse under cold water until thawed.
2. Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
