Ingredients:

  • 16 oz frozen sweet peas, thawed and drained
  • 8 oz sharp cheddar cheese, cubed into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
  • 3 large hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Ensure frozen peas are completely thawed and patted dry with a paper towel. Cube the sharp cheddar into uniform 1/4 inch pieces.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until the sugar has dissolved and the dressing is glossy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed peas, cubed cheddar, crumbled bacon, chopped eggs, and diced red onion.
  4. Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently fold with a spatula until all ingredients are evenly coated, taking care not to mash the eggs.
  5. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for 1 hour before serving to allow flavors to meld.
