Our Pea, Pickle and Bacon Salad was created when Sainsbury’s asked us to come up with a dish that used their Taste the Difference British Gems Baby Potatoes!
These potatoes are fresh from the field to store in just 2 days and they’re exclusive to Sainsbury’s. You can steam them, roast them or even bake them and we personally think that they taste far better with their skins on, so there’s no need to fuss around with preparation.
We’ve used pickle juice in this Pea, Pickle and Bacon Salad recipe and you can use whichever you like. Pickled onions, pickled gherkins (our favourite!), pickled beetroot, pickled cabbage, or even pickled garlic… The choice is yours!

Hi Sarah,
You can use whichever hot sauce you have available!
Sarah CroweMonday 14th August 2017
Hi do you cook the peas at all for this dish. Thank you xx
Emma TMonday 11th September 2017
Hi Sarah,
The peas need to be defrosted before using them in this recipe – there is no need to boil them as long as they are thawed as they get cooked prior to freezing.
Hope that helps!
