Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams Frozen green peas
- 100 grams Sliced almonds
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Instructions
Begin by thawing the frozen green peas. Place them in a colander and run under cool water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Add both to the dressing in the bowl.
Add the thawed peas to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to coat the peas evenly with the dressing.
Fold in the toasted almonds, reserving a small handful for garnish if desired.
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, sprinkle the reserved almonds on top, and garnish with additional cilantro if preferred.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold and enjoy!
