Pea Salad Recipe

This is my pea salad that I made for our picnic in the park. It happens to be a favorite of my husband; which is surprising because it has onion in it. My husband likes cooked onion but not raw onion. But he loves this pea salad.
Here is the recipe:

1-frozen bag of sweet peas
1/2 cup of rach dressing
1- onion, chopped finely
bacon - chop into small pieces. I use a whole pk. of microwave bacon (you could use more or less- but we LOVE bacon here! Cook in microwave and pat any fat off.

cheese (flavor of choice and as much as you like) I used mild cheddar and did not measure it!

-Fill a pot half way up with water and heat to boiling, once boiling put the frozen peas in and return to boiling, once boiling AGAIN - cook for one minute! Drain and cool peas by rinsing with cold water...YOU HAVE TO GET THESE COOL or they will melt the cheese!
-stir in ranch, next put in bacon and onion, mix well.
-next toss with cheese
*I put ours in the fridge and let it get cold for a few hours before eating. We like it best cold - perfect for a hot, summer day! Of course, you CAN eat it as soon as you make it.
**I always double the recipe and we eat on it for a couple of days!
