Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams frozen peas
- 120 grams mayonnaise
- 60 grams sour cream
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 120 grams cheddar cheese
- 4 slices crispy bacon
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the frozen peas from the freezer and rinse them under cold water in a colander until they are no longer frozen but still cold. Set aside to drain thoroughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the dressing.
Finely dice the red onion and grate or cube the cheddar cheese, then add them to the dressing in the bowl.
Crumble the crispy bacon slices into small pieces and add them to the bowl.
Add the drained peas to the bowl and gently fold the mixture until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Cover the bowl and chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold as a side dish or enjoy on its own!
