1 bunch Mint chopped fine

Preparation

1 Bring a saucepan of salted water to a boil. Blanch peas and snow peas, about 1 minute each, rinsing in ice water so that they remain bright green and crisp. Drain and set aside to dry. 2 In a medium bowl, mix yogurt with mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper, and fold into peas along with mint. Refrigerate covered. 3 To serve, spoon onto individual plates or a serving platter, sprinkle bacon over the top and garnish with mint leaves. 4 This recipe yields 8 servings.
