Ingredients
- 450 grams Frozen green peas
- 100 grams Sliced almonds
- 120 grams Greek yogurt
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
Directions
Step 1
Begin by thawing the frozen green peas. Place them in a colander and run under cool water for 2-3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from heat and let them cool.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, honey, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly combined.
Step 4
Finely dice the red onion and chop the fresh cilantro. Add both to the dressing in the bowl.
Step 5
Add the thawed peas to the bowl with the dressing. Stir gently to coat the peas evenly with the dressing.
Step 6
Fold in the toasted almonds, reserving a small handful for garnish if desired.
Step 7
Transfer the salad to a serving bowl, sprinkle the reserved almonds on top, and garnish with additional cilantro if preferred.
Step 8
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold and enjoy!
