Cottage Cheese Ranch Pea Salad
A creamy, tangy, protein-boosted salad that’s as easy to make as it is delicious!
Our Cottage Cheese Ranch Pea Salad is a perfect solution for a quick flavorful side dish.
With simple ingredients and an easy blend-and-toss process, you’ll have a tasty and nutritious salad ready for dinner or lunches throughout the busy week.
But what really sets this salad apart is its impressive nutritional profile.
Cottage cheese is a rich source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, while peas are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Add in some crispy nitrate-free bacon for a fun boost of flavor and texture, and you’ve got a salad that’s super satisfying.
So go ahead, give this a try, and enjoy the perfect blend of creamy, tangy, and crunchy!
🥓We eat bacon a few times each month at our house because it’s something we (REALLY, REALLY) enjoy!
Note: There are many high-quality bacon options available these days. Look for nitrate-free and humanely raised if possible. Always read the ingredients so you know what you’re really buying.
