Ingredients
2 cup fresh shelled peas
1/2 pound snow peas
1/2 cup plain yogurt
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
Juice of 1 lemon
Coarse salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 bunch mint, chopped fine (reserve some whole leaves for garnish)
8 slices crisp cooked bacon, crumbled
Directions
- Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Blanch peas and snow peas, about 1 minute each, rinsing in ice water so that they remain bright green and crisp. Drain and set aside to dry.
- In a medium bowl, mix yogurt with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and fold into peas along with mint. Refrigerate covered. To serve, spoon onto individual plates or a serving platter, sprinkle bacon over the top and garnish with mint leaves.
