Bright, vibrant, and bursting with flavor, this Dilled Pea Salad is a refreshing, no-cook side dish perfect for spring and summer gatherings. Tender green peas are paired with a creamy dressing made from tangy Greek yogurt, rich mayonnaise, and a hint of white vinegar for a perfectly balanced bite. Fragrant fresh dill and finely diced red onion add bursts of freshness and a delicate crunch, while a touch of sugar enhances the natural sweetness of the peas. Ready in just 15 minutes, this easy chilled salad is ideal for picnics, potlucks, or as a light appetizer. Serve it cold and let the harmonious flavors of dill and sweet peas steal the show!
Place the frozen peas in a colander and rinse them under cold water until they are completely thawed. Drain well and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, chopped dill, white vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Add the diced red onion to the peas in the large mixing bowl.
Pour the prepared dressing over the peas and onions. Gently toss everything together until the peas are evenly coated with the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, give the salad a gentle stir and taste. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light appetizer. Enjoy!
