Ingredients
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt plain style
- ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon basil dried
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon seasoned salt (such as Lawry's brand)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ medium bell pepper finely chopped (about ½ cup total, yellow
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 tablespoon red onion finely diced
- 2 teaspoons Pimentos diced
- 2 lbs. pea thawed and well drained, shelled fresh or frozen (2 packages 16 oz each
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.
