Not only is it a simple and delicious everyday side dish, it will also make a wonderful holiday salad, looking great on your Thanksgiving or Christmas table. I happen to love green peas, bacon, and pecans – so this is a perfect combination for me any time of the year, but especially in the winter, when this salad looks especially cozy and inviting on a dinner table.  Just combine cooked and chopped bacon, chopped, pecans and cooked garden peas together:

Then, mix everything up with an easy mayo and sour cream based homemade dressing:

Add the salad dressing right before serving, so that the salad retains its crunchiness from bacon and pecans.
