A refreshing and crunchy salad perfect for any occasion.
Rinse the fresh peas under cold water and let them drain in a colander.
Using fresh peas enhances the flavor, but frozen peas can be a quick alternative.
Chop the celery, cauliflower, and green onions into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure uniform sizes for even mixing and a pleasant texture.
Cook the bacon until crispy, then crumble it into small pieces.
Cooking the bacon until crispy adds a delightful crunch to the salad.
Combine the peas, celery, cauliflower, green onions, cashews, and bacon in a large mixing bowl.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the vegetables.
Add the sour cream to the bowl and mix until everything is evenly coated.
Adjust the amount of sour cream to your preference for creaminess.
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad in a large bowl and enjoy!
Garnish with extra cashews or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for presentation.
