Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen green peas
- 1 cup salted roasted peanuts
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 cup red onion
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Place the frozen green peas in a colander and rinse them under lukewarm water until they are no longer frozen. Drain thoroughly and set them aside.
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh dill. Set aside for later use.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice. Whisk together until smooth and well blended.
Add the thawed green peas, diced red onion, and chopped dill to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Season the pea mixture with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix again to incorporate evenly.
Fold in the salted roasted peanuts, being careful not to crush them, so they retain their crunch.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
