Summer Macaroni Salad with Bacon and Peas

This recipe inspired our salad. We had a lot of fresh peas and it gave us the opportunity to enjoy them fresh out of the pod. We aren't too picky about what shape our pasta is in, we just use what is on hand.


12 oz pasta, cooked according to package instructions and cooled
1 cup fresh peas or frozen, thawed
1/2 cup bacon bits
Canned chicken, optional
1/3 cup Miracle Whip
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
salt and pepper

Add the cooked and cooled macaroni, peas, bacon and chicken to a large bowl.

Mix miracle whip, mayonnaise, sour cream together. Toss with the macaroni/peas/bacon and refrigerate for a few hours or overnight to let the flavors mingle together.
