3 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
¾ cup Cheddar cheese cubes

Tips:

  • Use fresh, tender peas. For the best flavor and texture, use fresh peas that are still in their pods. If you can't find fresh peas, frozen peas will work in a pinch.
  • Blanch the peas. Blanching the peas will help them retain their bright green color and crisp texture. To blanch the peas, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the peas and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately remove the peas from the boiling water and plunge them into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use a variety of crunchy vegetables. In addition to peas, this salad is also packed with other crunchy vegetables like celery, carrots, and radishes. Feel free to add other crunchy vegetables that you like, such as bell peppers, cucumbers, or jicama.
  • Make a flavorful dressing. The dressing for this salad is made with a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, and Dijon mustard. You can adjust the amount of each ingredient to taste. If you like a tangy dressing, add more vinegar. If you like a creamy dressing, add more mayonnaise or sour cream.
  • Serve immediately. This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The peas and other vegetables will start to lose their crunch if the salad sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This quick and crunchy pea salad is a perfect side dish for any summer meal. It is light, refreshing, and packed with flavor. The combination of crunchy peas, vegetables, and flavorful dressing is sure to please everyone at your table.
