CREAMY PEA SALAD
INGREDIENTS:
4 cups frozen peas, thawed
8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
DIRECTIONS:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed peas, crumbled bacon, chopped red onion, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Before serving, garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
