Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups frozen sweet peas
- 1 whole red bell pepper
- 1 whole carrot
- 3 stalks green onion
- 0.333 cup mayonnaise
- 0.333 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
Instructions
Place the frozen sweet peas in a colander and run them under cold water for 2-3 minutes until thawed. Let them drain well.
Dice the red bell pepper into small bite-sized pieces.
Peel and grate the carrot using a box grater or finely chop it.
Slice the green onions thinly, using both the white and green parts.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed peas, diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, and sliced green onions.
In a separate smaller bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill.
Pour the dressing over the pea and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly, being careful not to mash the peas.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or light lunch.
