Ingredients
Dressing
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 - 1/2 tsp black pepper
Pea salad
- 20 oz peas thawed halfway, frozen
- 1 cup Bacon crumbled cooked
- 1 cup cheddar cheese cubed, sharp
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- parsley for garnish (optional, fresh
Instructions
Prepare
- 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
- In a large mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Whisk to combine well.
Assemble the salad
- To the bowl with the dressing, add partially thawed peas, crumbled bacon, cheese, and red onion. Stir well to combine.
Chill
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for about an hour for the best flavor (but it can be served right away).
Garnish and serve
- 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.
