Expert Tips

Peas and beans are loaded with plenty of soluble fiber. Start slowly so you have time to get used to added fiber in the diet.

Depending on the saltiness of the bacon, you may need to add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the salad.

Prepare the salad up to a day ahead of time, and store covered in the refrigerator.

This was a great meal, but I did make a couple of substitutions. First, I used brown rice, and second, I used 1 turkey sausage instead of the bacon, cut up very small and cooked through first

Is red pepper sauce the same as hot sauce, like Tobasco in the bottle?

What a great recipe! Easy to fix and everyone loved it. I used brown rice instead of white. It's good hot or cold.
