Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 16 oz. frozen peas (thawed and drained)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1 cup real mayonnaise
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the thawed and drained peas, diced red onions, shredded cheddar cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and real mayonnaise. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
- Season the Salad: Add salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the pea salad.
- Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the pea salad for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up.
- Mix Before Serving: Just before serving, stir the salad once more to redistribute any settled ingredients. Keep the salad chilled until ready to serve.
Notes
- Ensure peas are well thawed and drained to avoid excess moisture making the salad watery.
- The salad can be made a day in advance for convenience and enhanced flavor.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise for desired creaminess.
- Add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy twist, if preferred.
- Keep refrigerated and consume within 2 days for best freshness.
