Instructions

Prepare

  1. Cook bacon in whichever manner you like. I like to bake mine at 350°F for about 20-30 minutes, or until crispy.

Make dressing

  1. In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine well.

Assemble the salad

  1. To the bowl with the dressing, add partially thawed peas, crumbled bacon, cheese, and red onion. Stir well to combine.

Chill

  1. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about an hour for the best flavor (but it can be served right away).

Garnish and serve

  1. Stir well, garnish with fresh parley if desired, and served chilled.

Notes

  • In place of apple cider vinegar, you can use white wine or red wine vinegar.
  • 20 oz of frozen peas equates to around 4-5 cups.
  • I've estimated this recipe serves around 12, but feel free to divide the recipe up into as many servings as you'd like.
