This salad is a way for me to get some vegetables into my son and the green peas and red bell peppers make a decorative side for the holidays. It is very quick to prepare with a little bit of slicing and chopping but mostly blend all the ingredients and it's ready to go.

This green and red salad is a nice addition to the top of a green leaf and spinach salad.

2 1/2 cups frozen peas (thawed)
1/2 cup real bacon bits or crisp bacon crumbled

How To Make quick festive holiday green & red salad

Step 1

Mixed together all ingredients. Be sure and blot dry the bacon that you crisp if you fry your own. Refrigerate until it's time to serve. The Walden Farms Bacon Ranch Dressing is zero calorie and is usually found in the diabetic section in most stores like Kroeger/Fred Meyers or Walmart.

Step 2

You could leave out the bacon bits and switch to a low calorie Ranch Dressing to make this salad for your vegetarian friends. Try adding some sliced water chestnuts for extra crunch to go along with the celery.
