Pea Salad is a classic pasta salad recipe that has been around for generations. Just ask your grandma. It’s full of delicious ingredients, especially bacon.
 
Remember how I love Bacon?
This salad has both.
And peas for the health factor.
Pea Salad
Author: Mandy Bird
Ingredients
- 1 cup elbow macaroni, cooked
- 3 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup green onion, chopped
- 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Directions
- In a bowl, combine macaroni, bacon, green onions, and peas.
- Stir in mayonnaise; cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Sprinkle with cheese just before serving. Serves 4 to 6.
- Note: I used half mayo and half Miracle Whip. I like the tang. Also, I saved some bacon and sprinkled it on just before serving so it would be crispy on top.
This yummy recipe comes from Gooseberry Patch’s 101 Farmhouse Favorites cookbook.
It absolutely fits right into our kitchen. It is full of tasty farmhouse favorites like Fried Green Tomato Biscuits, Chocolate-Raspberry Brownies, Gooseberry Conserve, Farmhouse Pot Roast, and Quick Picnic Pickles to name a few.
I love pea salad; but have not found one to make for myself. I will be making this one for Mother's Day. Thanks for the recipe.
It's hard to beat homemade bread for 'farmworthiness'!
Buttermilk biscuits and homemade strawberry jam!
Meat loaf & scalloped potatoes.

I have to also go with homemade bread 😉
This looks great Mandy!
I love anything made with peas, looks delicious
definitely potato rolls
This sounds great! I have never tried it with Mayo before. In mine it was Sour Cream/Cream Cheese. So I am sure I would love this!<br /><br />Great Give Away! I LOVE Gooseberry Patch!
My favorite 'farmhouse' recipe is definitely my CHEESEY CHICKEN CHOWDER. What an awesome giveaway. Thanks Mandy.
Wonderful Salad and Wonderful Giveaway~ When I think of Farmhouse dishes I think of Potato Salad or Old Fashioned Baked Beans~ Lynn @ Turnips 2 Tangerines
I'd have to say crescent rolls and a good pot roast!
I'll say chicken and dumplings. Such good comfort food.
I would love something classic, such as a warm chicken stew with fresh baked bread. For dessert, a hearty apple pie! <br /><br />Thanks for the great giveaway!
This sounds fabulous!
Forgot to post this above: In a blender whirl 12 oz. carton sour cream, 24 oz. carton low fat cottage cheese & packet ranch dressing mix. Low in fat & calories, it's our favorite dip for veggies!
My mom's apple butter!!
Baked beans<br />thanks
I LOVE all things peas….and bacon!
Peach cobbler is my favorite!
A good pot roast and my garlic mashed potatoes! MMM!
Love breakfast for dinner recipes with homemade bread
I love making buttermilk biscuits and stuff them with country ham and red eye gravy.
anything from scratch… skillets, biscuits, breads…
Fried Chicken and Potato Salad!

can't be anything with bacon in it!
Cole slaw seems to be a constant request. Gotta change it up!
Old-Fashioned Desserts do it for me! 🙂
I am so looking forward to making your pea salad! Thanks!
Chicken Pot Pie and Cornbread
I make all my bread from scratch, that seems "farmy" to me..
Lots of bread products – biscuits, wheat bread, rolls, etc!
