Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Frozen Peas, thawed
- 1/4 cup Red Onion, diced (can substitute with green onions)
- 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese (or crumbled feta for a twist)
- 1/2 cup Bacon Bits, crispy for the best flavor
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the thawed peas, diced red onion, shredded cheddar cheese, and bacon bits.
- Add the mayonnaise and mix until evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve as a side dish at your next gathering or enjoy as a light meal.
Notes
For variations, consider adding diced water chestnuts for extra crunch or using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter option. This salad is best when made fresh but can be prepared a day in advance.
