When looking for a new recipe for this week, we decided we could use a new summer salad. Sean stated it could be a challenge to find one in a Lutheran cookbook that does not have Jell-O/ gelatin in it. Of course, the challenge was on, and I found that that looked pretty tasty with cashews & bacon…..so will see…..
Crunchy Pea Salad ~ from First Lutheran Church cookbook of Marshall , MN
1 (10oz. pkg) frozen baby peas
1 c. diced celery
1 c. chopped cauliflower
¼ c. diced green onion
1 c. chopped cashews
½ c. sour cream
1 c. Hidden Valley
Crisp, cooked crumbled bacon (opt.)
Thaw peas; combine with other ingredients & chill
Tupps Tidbits ~ pre packaged bacon bits would be an option
Since Sean is not a big fan of “ranch” we decided to make ½ of the recipe. Also, we used Fat Free Ranch dressing & Light Sour Cream to save on calories. Let’s just say, the salad lacked “something”…I tried adding pepper & salt but that did not do it. Don’t get me wrong, it was not bad but just not anything special. This is definitely NOT A KEEPER.
From -p.89 ~ Thank God for dirty dishes, they have a tale to tell: while other folks go hungry, we’re eating well. With home & health & happiness, we shouldn’t want to fuss; by the stack of evidence, God’s been very good to us.
