Pea and Cheddar Salad

By lorik

Canola oil or olive oil mayonnaise works well here, but light mayonnaise will leave the salad watery.

Ingredients

• 2 strips thick sliced bacon, diced
• 1 1/2 cups frozen peas, thawed and drained
• 1/4 cup diced cheddar
• 1/4 cup bias sliced scallions
• 3 Tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
