Carmel's Crunchy Pea Salad

Cashews and crumbled bacon make the crunch in this wonderful salad. If you make it in the summer and have fresh-from-the-garden peas, great, but frozen peas are super too. Peas, celery and chopped green scallions are folded into sour cream and then topped with the cashews and the bacon.
