Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Cheese: Dice the cheddar cheese into small, uniform cubes. Place in a bowl and refrigerate temporarily to prevent sticking (approximately 5 minutes).

02

Step

Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, gently mix together the diced cheddar cheese, drained sweet peas, and diced red onion.

03

Step

Dress the Salad: Add the mayonnaise and sugar to the bowl. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly coated.

04

Step

Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled.

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding crumbled cooked bacon or diced ham.
Fresh mint or dill, finely chopped, can also be added to the salad for a brighter, more herbaceous flavor.
Adjust the amount of mayonnaise and sugar to suit your personal preference.
For a tangy twist, substitute a tablespoon of the mayonnaise with sour cream or plain yogurt.
