\"Frozen<\/a><\/p>\n

Here we go, ladies – we’re heading into the holiday season! \u00a0Every time I go to the supermarket now I see dozens of magazines at the check out, with photos of glorious turkeys and fantastic centerpieces. \u00a0But let’s be honest – not everyone will have to make a turkey this year. In my case, my newlywed brother-in-law and his wife will be hosting Thanksgiving, so they are in charge of the turkey. \u00a0But it’s always good to have a couple of \u00a0side dish recipes in mind. \u00a0I’m usually responsible for making at least one pie and cornbread stuffing, plus some kind of vegetable \u00a0dish. \u00a0This year, I plan to bring this\u00a0Frozen Pea Salad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Before you think I’ve gone off the deep end, No, the peas are not frosty little balls of ice. \u00a0They are thawed and cold, but not actually frozen anymore. \u00a0The version of this recipe my Mom used to make featured sour cream and a little mayonnaise. \u00a0I’ve switched that out for Greek yogurt to up the protein and lower the fat a little bit. \u00a0This can easily be doubled or tripled, depending on how many people you are serving, but I would suggest not adding in the cashews and bacon until you are ready to eat, so the textures stay distinct. \u00a0It’s sweet and salty, crunchy and chewy, cold and delicious! \u00a0If you need an easy, off-beat vegetable side dish, read on, friends!<\/p>\n
