This Old School Pea Salad relies on simple, everyday ingredients such as peas (thawed if frozen), red onion, small dice, cheddar cheese, cubed and bacon, cooked and crumbled.

It works as a light main on its own or as a starter alongside crusty bread, and it's just as good for a cozy night in as it is for feeding a crowd. Leftovers keep well, so it's a smart choice for meal prep too.
