Classic Pea Salad
Description
The Classic Pea Salad mixes thawed peas with a tangy and creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Cooked bacon adds a smoky flavor and crispy texture, while cubed cheddar cheese brings richness with some sharpness. Red onion slices introduce a mild pungency and crunch. The ingredients come together by tossing in the dressing and chilling to meld flavors.
