Instructions

Combine Ingredients – In a large mixing bowl, add the frozen green peas, finely chopped onion, bacon crumbles, and ranch dressing. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Chill Salad – Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes. Chilling allows the flavors to meld and the peas to thaw while staying crisp.
Serve – Once chilled, give the salad a gentle stir and serve it cold. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish or snack!

Notes

For best texture, use petite green peas and do not thaw them before mixing.
You can substitute fresh green onion for a milder flavor.
Add shredded cheddar cheese for extra richness.
The salad can be made a few hours ahead; just stir before serving.
