Classic Pea Salad
5 from 67 Ratings
This easy green Pea Salad is an old fashioned classic recipe served cold and enjoyed all year round. Made with bacon, cheddar cheese, red onions, and a sweet dressing, all in one bowl and in only 15 minutes!
Prep Time: 15 minutes mins
Total Time: 15 minutes mins
Servings: 8 (1/3 cup)
Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 cups frozen peas , thawed
1/3 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese (approximately the same size as the peas)
8 slices bacon , cooked crispy and crumbled

Instructions

Put sour cream, mayo, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
Add peas, onion, cheese, and bacon to the bowl; gently stir to coat completely.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with some crispy bacon.

Notes
Any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing this salad, however. The dressing will not hold up very well, and the peas and bacon will

That sounds good. Thanks for sharing


Ma used to make one a bit different but similar. With just peas, onions and a bit of chopped tomato and I think just mayo dressing (not sure), salt & pepper.

Sounds delicious

Sometimes I cheat and just use 1/2 blue cheese dressing and half sour cream. It is delicious that way too.
