- Knife
- large mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 16 ounces frozen peas thawed and drained
- 6 strips of bacon cooked and chopped into small pieces
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup diced red onion
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Make sure your peas are fully thawed and drained of any excess water.
- Dice the red onion, chop the cooked bacon, and shred the cheese if needed.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peas, bacon, red onion, shredded cheese, and mayonnaise. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, then stir again to evenly distribute the seasonings throughout the salad.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. For the best flavor, let it chill for several hours or overnight — this gives the ingredients time to meld together.
- Serve: Before serving, give the salad a good stir to redistribute the mayo that may have settled.
