Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh peas. If using frozen peas, thaw them completely before using.
  • Use a variety of colors of bell peppers for a more visually appealing salad.
  • If you don't have any red onion, you can use yellow or white onion instead.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, oil, salt, and pepper until the sugar is dissolved.
  • For a sweeter salad, add more sugar to the dressing. For a more tangy salad, add more vinegar.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, don't add the dressing until just before serving. This will prevent the salad from getting soggy.
