Pea Salad without Bacon

5.0
(1)

Everyone from my husband to people at work rave about this, which I think is hilarious given how little work it takes. I call it "anytime" pea salad because it's great for winter holidays as well as a cool, refreshing snack for summertime, and everything in between. May be eaten right away or refrigerated to enjoy later.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 (15 ounce) can peas, drained

  • ¼ cup minced red onion

  • ¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

  • 1 large hard-boiled egg, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon ground paprika

  • ½ cup creamy salad dressing (such as Miracle Whip®), or to taste

Directions

  1. Combine peas, onion, Cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl. Add enough creamy salad dressing so that the mixture is coated thoroughly.

Cook's Notes:

When I cook, it's usually just for me and my husband. If you have a larger family, you will need to increase the recipe.

If you aren't a vegetarian, adding some chopped ham can give the pea salad an extra flavorful twist.
