• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Place the frozen sweet peas in a colander and run them under cold water for 2-3 minutes until thawed. Let them drain well.

Step 2

Dice the red bell pepper into small bite-sized pieces.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed peas, diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, and sliced green onions.

Step 6

In a separate smaller bowl, make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and fresh dill.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the pea and vegetable mixture. Gently toss to coat all the ingredients evenly, being careful not to mash the peas.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
