Creamy Bacon Pea Salad
Description
This salad starts by thawing frozen peas to retain a slight bite and green color. Finely diced red onion adds sharpness, cheddar cheese contributes richness, and crumbled cooked bacon brings smoky saltiness. The dressing combines mayonnaise and sour cream with apple cider vinegar and a touch of salt for acidity and creaminess.
Tossing everything gently mixes textures and flavors while preventing the peas from mashing. The salad is ready immediately but can be refrigerated to meld flavors and keep crispness.
This side pairs well with grilled meats or sandwiches and serves as a colorful, flavorful potluck contribution balanced between creamy and fresh ingredients.
