Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups frozen green peas
- 0.75 cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 cup small red onion
- 2 celery ribs
- 0.5 cup shredded carrots
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the peas from the freezer and allow them to thaw at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes. Alternatively, you can rinse them under cold running water in a colander and allow them to drain completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, low-fat mayonnaise, and ranch seasoning mix. Stir until smooth and the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Finely dice the red onion and celery ribs. Add the diced vegetables, shredded carrots, and thawed peas to the mixing bowl with the dressing.
If using, chop the fresh dill and add it to the bowl for extra flavor.
Season the salad with salt and black pepper. Gently toss all the ingredients together until the peas and vegetables are evenly coated in the dressing.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve cold as a side dish or a light, healthy snack. Garnish with additional dill or a sprinkle of black pepper, if desired.
