Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen peas thawed
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 8 bacon slices
  • 2 hard boiled eggs
  • 1/4 cup red onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese cubed
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Thaw the frozen peas by running them under cold water.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy. Lay on a paper towel to soak up any excess grease. Once they are cooled, chop them into small pieces. 
  • Fill a pot with cold water, place the eggs inside, and bring to a boil.
  • Once the water is boiling, cover with a lid and remove the pot from the heat. Allow to sit for 10 minutes for hard boiled eggs.
  • Drain the hot water and fill the pot with ice cubes and cold water. Allow the eggs to sit in the cold bath for 5 minutes.
  • When they are ready to be peeled, tap the ends of the egg and begin to peel the shells from the eggs. Slice and chop the eggs.
  • Cube the cheddar cheese and chop the onion. 
  • In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar and salt and pepper. 
  • In a large bowl, place the peas, bacon, eggs, red onion, and cheddar cheese.
  • Pour the dressing over the ingredients. 
  • Serve and enjoy!
