Ingredients
  

For the Salad

  • 1 quart Sugar Snap Peas
  • 1 bunch Green Onions chopped
  • 4 ounces Feta Cheese
  • 8 slices Bacon

For the Vinaigrette

  • 1/2 cup Olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup Rice Wine Vinegar can use red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup Water
  • Juice of 1 Lemon
  • 3 tbsp Sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 Clove Garlic minced
  • Freshly Cracked Pepper

Instructions
 

  • First, chop bacon into half inch pieces and throw them in a skillet to crisp up. When the bacon is brown in crisp, take the pan off the heat.
  • Make up your salad dressing by adding all of the ingredients to a jar, putting the lid on, and giving it a shake. Make sure to shake thouroughly right before dressing the salad.
  • Next, give your peas a quick wash and once-over to make sure there are no strings. Chop the peas into approximately 1/2 inch wide bite-sized pieces and place them in a large bowl. Follow this with a hearty helping of green onions.
  • Crumble your feta cheese on top of the greens. I like to leave it in pretty large chunks, remembering that it will break up a little as you mix the dressing in.
  • Finally, take the skillet of bacon and dump it over top the salad.
  • Dress the salad as desired and either serve immediately or let is set for an hour or so to marinate.
