This is another one of Grandma's recipes that made good use of the produce from her garden. She grew lots of herbs to use in her cooking. This is a good hot summer evening dinner. It won't heat up the house, and you get your meat and veggies.
6 slices of bacon (fried and crumbled)
2 cups sugar snap peas
1/2 cup Miracle Whip
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 Tbsp cider vinegar
1 Tbsp snipped fresh dill - we can buy this in the produce section at the grocery store
1 small head romaine lettuce, torn into bite-size pieces
8 oz turkey breast, cut into strips
Fry the bacon to desired crispness and drain on paper towel
Set bacon aside to cool
Cook peas, covered, in boiling salted water for 2 minutes or until crisp-tender
Drain
Crumble one bacon slice and set aside
Break the remaining bacon slices into pieces
In a bowl, combine the Miracle Whip, mustard, vinegar, and dill
Stir in crumbled bacon
Arrange romaine lettuce on each plate
Add peas, turkey strips and bacon pieces
Top with dressing

My Grandma passed away at the age of 94. She was a wonderful cook and I was lucky enough to inherit her recipes. Many date back to the 1940s and 50s. Grandma prepared them in a charming country kitchen with no running water and most of her produce came from her garden, not from the grocery store. These are made-from-scratch recipes. I wish I had spent more time with her in the kitchen and . . . I wish I had spent more time with her for so many other reasons.
