Classic Pea Salad

This Classic Pea Salad blends tender peas with a creamy dressing of mayonnaise and sour cream, seasoned with vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper. Added bacon, cheddar cheese, and chopped red onion contribute savory, smoky, and sharp notes while providing texture contrasts. It is a chilled salad ideal for side dishes or potlucks with balanced creaminess and crispness.

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.

This salad offers a combination of creamy, tangy, smoky, and fresh flavors with a pleasing mix of textures from soft peas, crisp bacon, mild onion, and firm cheese. Served cold, it complements various main courses or can be part of a buffet style meal.
