Ingredients

• 2 cups Frozen green peas
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon White vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, add the frozen green peas. Allow them to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to slightly thaw. This gives them a pleasant crunch and removes excess frost.

Step 2

While the peas thaw, prepare the dressing by combining mayonnaise, white vinegar, honey, salt, and black pepper in a small mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Once the peas have thawed slightly, add the shredded cheddar cheese and diced red onion to the bowl with the peas.

Step 4

Pour the dressing over the pea mixture, and gently toss everything together until the peas are evenly coated in the creamy dressing.

Step 5

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.

Step 6

For garnish, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 2 hours for a colder and more blended flavor. Enjoy as a side dish or snack!
