Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe

Servings: Serves 4 and can easily been doubled easily.

I think I might have had this once at a picnic as a kid.  But I’m a Northern girl.  This is straight up Southern food.  And it’s good!  Simple and lovely on a hot day.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of bacon cooked til crispy.
• 2 cups of peas.  Frozen peas work just fine.
• ¼ cup of red onion, diced
• ½ cup of cheddar shredded or cut into small chunks.  I did half of each
• ¼ cup of mayo (Dukes is popular in the South)
• ¼ cup of plain yogurt
• ½ Tbl of honey
• 1 tsp of rice vinegar (this gives the sauce just a bit of a bite)
• Sea salt and pepper to taste.

Instructions:

If your peas are frozen put them in a colander and run cold water over them to thaw them and get off the ice.  If fresh peas just make sure they are clean.

I cook my bacon in the oven. Here’s my recipe for “Oven Bacon”.  Drain cooked bacon on paper towels.  Then dice.

Dice the onion and prep the cheese.

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayo, yogurt, honey, rice vinegar and salt and pepper.

Add the salad ingredients and fold to get it all mixed up.

Refrigerate at least an hour before serving so the flavors meld.

Keep the salad cold if you’re serving it outside.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
