Creamy Pea Pasta Salad Recipe that is perfect served along side a holiday ham or for a side dish with any meal. Would be delicious served at a summer barbecue.
Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to package directions. Rinse under cold water, drain thoroughly, and transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool slightly before adding remaining salad ingredients.
Add diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped bacon, and chopped hard-boiled eggs to the pasta. Toss gently until everything is well mixed throughout the bowl without breaking up the eggs too much.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together all dressing ingredients until smooth and fully combined. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss thoroughly so every piece of pasta and filling is evenly coated.
Fold in the drained canned peas just until combined, being careful not to mash them. Garnish with halved hard-boiled eggs if desired, then serve immediately or refrigerate until chilled and ready to enjoy later.
