For an even more flavorful salad, consider using freshly cooked and crumbled bacon instead of bacon bits. Feel free to customize this salad with your favorite ingredients! Diced carrots, hard-boiled eggs, sliced mushrooms, sprouts, or seeded and diced cucumbers would all be delicious additions. For a lighter dressing, try using a combination of mayonnaise and Greek yogurt. Ensure the peas are thoroughly drained to prevent a watery salad. If you don't have time to refrigerate for a full 24 hours, even a minimum of 4-6 hours will allow the flavors to develop nicely.
