Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen green peas
- 2 medium celery stalks
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Take the frozen green peas out of the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 15 minutes or until fully defrosted.
Dice the celery stalks into small, bite-sized pieces.
Finely chop the red onion. For a milder flavor, optionally rinse the chopped onion under cold water and pat dry.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed peas, diced celery, chopped red onion, and crumbled feta cheese.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, finely chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the pea mixture and gently toss everything together until evenly coated.
Taste the salad and adjust salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a light meal. Enjoy!
