- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- kosher salt and ground black pepper (to taste)
- 1 pound frozen peas (thawed and patted dry)
- 6 slices bacon (sliced into 1/2-inch pieces)
- 1/3 cup diced red onion
- 4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (cut into cubes about the size of the peas)
- 2 to 3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the bacon. Add the bacon to a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, until crispy and golden, then remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt and pepper.
- Assemble the salad. In a medium bowl, add the peas, red onion, cheddar cheese, and crispy bacon. Add the dressing and gently fold until evenly coated. Taste and add more seasoning as needed.
- Chill before serving. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
