Notes

This Creamy Pea Salad is versatile; try adding a sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley for extra flavor. To lighten it up, use turkey bacon and dairy-free alternatives for mayonnaise and cheese. Serve in a clear bowl to highlight the vibrant colors, and consider garnishing with paprika or hard-boiled egg slices. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, stirring before serving if the dressing separates.
