Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen peas
- 0.5 cups mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups sour cream
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill
- 0.25 cups red onion
- 1 tablespoons white vinegar
- 1 teaspoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen peas and allow them to thaw for about 10 minutes while you prepare the dressing.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Finely chop the red onion and fresh dill. Add both to the thawed peas in the large mixing bowl.
Pour the dressing over the peas, onion, and dill mixture. Stir gently to coat the peas evenly without mashing them.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, stir the salad once more, taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve cold as a side dish or enjoy as a light, refreshing meal.
