Ingredients

• 3 cups frozen peas
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 0.25 cup red onion
• 2 stalks celery
• 0.5 cup raisins
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Remove the frozen peas from the freezer and thaw them by either letting them sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes or running them under cool water in a colander. Drain them well.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper into small, bite-sized pieces. Finely chop the red onion. Slice the celery stalks into thin half-moon shapes.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed and drained peas, diced red bell pepper, chopped red onion, sliced celery, and raisins. Mix well to evenly combine.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the plain Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the curry yogurt dressing over the pea mixture. Gently toss until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.

Step 6

Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step is optional but recommended for the best flavor.

Step 7

Serve the curried pea salad chilled as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
