Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (115g) mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup (60g) sour cream
  • 1 tbsp (12g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) black pepper
  • 4 cups (600g) frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1 cup (115g) sharp cheddar cheese, cubed small
  • 6 slices (60g) cooked bacon, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (40g) red onion, finely diced

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is glossy and completely smooth, then stir in the salt and pepper.
  2. Pat the thawed peas dry with a paper towel to prevent excess moisture. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dried peas, cubed cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and diced red onion.
  3. Pour the prepared dressing over the salad base and gently fold the ingredients together with a spatula until evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the salad to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to integrate.
