An easy cold pasta salad packed with peas, corn, bell pepper, bacon, pasta and a creamy dressing. This cold salad tastes better every day and is great meal prep option! Creamy Corn & Pea Pasta SaladIt may be winter and totally cold around here but I couldn’t hold myself back from making one of my ultimate pasta salads. This salad screams summer and will brighten up your winter with just a few bites.

It’s loaded with creamy peas, corn, bacon, bell pepper and pasta cooked al dente. It’s dressed in a creamy dressing that pairs perfectly with the veggies.
Creamy Corn & Pea Pasta SaladTo begin you will need to cook your pasta al dente then crisp and chop a few slices of turkey bacon on the stove top. Chop a sweet red or yellow bell pepper, green or purple onions, and cilantro or parsley.

For the peas and corn, I used these handy Libby’s® Sweet Peas and Whole Kernel Sweet Corn Pouches. They’re completely microwavable so no need for pots or containers. You can enjoy hot nutritious veggies in less than 60 seconds or eat them cold straight out of the pouch. They come in 5 delicious flavors – Sweet Peas, Cut Green Beans, Sliced Carrots, Whole Kernel Sweet Corn and Mixed Vegetables – all grown and packed in the United States! 

The final step is to simply combine the pasta and veggies with a mixture of sour cream, mayo, and honey. The result is a crunchy creamy bite loaded with flavor and texture. It’s also great for meal-prep or making ahead of time because the flavors mingle and become even tastier every day. Creamy Corn & Pea Pasta Salad
