Peas straight from the freezer retain their crisp exterior and soft, creamy interior in this simple-to-make salad. For a subtler onion flavor, soak onion slices in cool water, then thoroughly drain before folding into the mayonnaise mixture.

Time 4h25m

Yield Makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound frozen peas (do not thaw)
1/2 small red onion, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup packed fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 ounces bacon (about 4 slices), chopped
2 ounces aged white cheddar, shaved or coarsely grated

Steps:

  • Whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar in a large bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. Fold in peas, onion, and parsley. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  • Meanwhile, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and fat is rendered, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain and crisp.
  • Let salad stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Gently fold in cheddar and bacon just before serving.

Tips:

  • For a refreshing and crisp salad, use fresh peas. Frozen peas can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • To save time, use pre-cooked bacon. However, if you prefer to cook your own bacon, cook it until it is crispy and then crumble it.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain yogurt or mayonnaise.
  • To add a bit of sweetness to the salad, add a tablespoon or two of sugar or honey.
  • For a more tangy flavor, add a tablespoon or two of vinegar or lemon juice.
  • Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. It will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Pea salad with sour cream and bacon is a delicious and refreshing summer salad. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
