Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen peas
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 2 stalks celery
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the frozen peas from the freezer and thaw them by either letting them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes or running them under cool water in a colander. Drain them well.
Dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion. Slice the celery stalks into thin half-moon shapes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and drained peas, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, sliced celery, and raisins. Mix well to evenly combine.
In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the curry yogurt dressing over the pea mixture. Gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended for the best flavor.
Serve the curried pea salad chilled as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
