Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and sugar until smooth and well combined. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the thawed peas, diced red onion, sweetened dried cranberries, and chopped peanuts to the bowl. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Gently stir all the ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the creamy dressing. Be careful not to crush the peas. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (30 minutes)

For a tangier flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing.
If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the mayonnaise and sour cream with vegan alternatives.
Toasted peanuts provide an even richer, nuttier flavor. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and fragrant.
Add some crumbled feta cheese or bacon bits for extra flavor and texture.
Fresh mint or parsley can be added for a fresh, herbaceous note.

    I made this for a potluck and it was completely gone! I used toasted peanuts and it added a really nice depth of flavor.

    I'm not usually a fan of pea salad, but this recipe changed my mind! The cranberries and peanuts make it so much more interesting.

    I substituted vegan mayo and sour cream, and it was still amazing! My vegan friends were so happy.
