Ingredients
- 2 pounds peas thawed and drained, frozen
- 1 1/2 cups Colby jack cheese cubed
- 8 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
- 2/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add the thawed peas, cubed cheese, crumbled bacon, and red onion in a large bowl.
- Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl to make the dressing.
- Add the dressing to the other salad ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Transfer to a serving bowl, if desired, for better presentation, then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- Make-Ahead: This salad is best served within 2-3 days and should be stored in the fridge when it is not being eaten.
- Variations: You can add 1/2 cup of roasted sunflower seeds for some additional flavor and crunch. Chopped hard-boiled eggs or shredded cheese instead of cubes are also a good idea. Fresh dill or chopped parsley make for an herby addition.
- Substitutions: Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or even mozzarella cheese can be substituted for the Colby Jack. Leftover ham, canadian bacon, or diced ham steaks from the store can be used in place of the bacon.
