Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen peas thawed
- 8 lices Bacon cooked and crumbled
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese or cubed, 2 oz
- ¼ cup finely diced red onion or sweet white onion, more to taste
Dressing
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
- ¼ teaspoon salt more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, and white vinegar. Season with salt and black pepper.
- Add peas, bacon, onion, and cheese to the bowl and gently stir to coat.
- Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Season with additional salt & pepper to taste.
Notes
- Onion: To soften the flavor of the onion, diced it and let it soak in salt water for 10 to 15 minutes. Drain well before using.
- Peas: Frozen peas do not need cooking. Thaw them quickly by placing them in a colander and running cold water over them.
- To make pea salad with fresh garden peas, shell them and boil them for 5-8 minutes or until tender. Drain well and cool completely.
- To save on cleanup, whisk the dressing in the same bowl that you'll be mixing the salad in.
- Garnish with additional bacon and cheese if desired.
- Leftover salad can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Stir before serving.
