Ingredients

• 1 16 oz  package frozen green peas, defrosted in a colander using very hot water
• 1 12 oz can sliced water chestnuts, drained
• ½ cup finely chopped red onion
• ½ cup light mayonnaise
• ¾ cup fat free or light sour cream
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• Salt and fresh ground pepper
• 1 package dry ranch style dressing
• 1 tomato, sliced into wedges

Directions

Defrosting the peas with hot water will blanch them and retain their bright green color. Dry the peas thoroughly– put some paper towels out on a cutting board, then lay out the peas and blot them gently with another paper towel.

Place peas in a large bowl; gently fold in water chestnuts through salt and pepper. The dry ranch dressing should be added one teaspoon at a time according to your own preference – usually I add about a tablespoon.  Pour the pea salad into a bowl and arrange the tomato wedges on top as an edible garnish. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
