Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, vinegar, basil, sugar, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and ground black pepper. Stir in the bell pepper, cheese, red onion, and diced pimentos.
- Gently fold in the peas until everything is coated in the dressing.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 3-4 hours before serving.
Notes
- Do not cook the peas before making the salad. The creamy dressing helps to tenderize the vegetables as the salad sits and the dressing soaks into the ingredients.
- If starting with frozen peas, make sure that they're thawed, drained, and patted dry before adding them to the salad.
- For the best flavor and texture, use full-fat mayo (Duke's brand is our favorite) and whole milk plain Greek yogurt.
- Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning to suit your taste. You can add more salt and pepper, make it a little spicy with some cayenne pepper, or include extra herbs such as parsley, chives, thyme, or oregano.
