Ingredients:

  • 16 oz frozen sweet peas, thawed and drained
  • 4 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 6 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, cubed small
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Ensure hard-boiled eggs are completely chilled before chopping. Drain frozen peas in a fine-mesh strainer and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. In a medium whisking bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained peas, chopped eggs, crumbled bacon, diced red onion, and cubed cheddar cheese.
  4. Pour the dressing over the combined ingredients and use a rubber spatula to gently fold everything together until evenly coated, taking care not to break the eggs.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld before serving.
