For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of finely chopped red onion or crumbled bacon. If you prefer a tangier dressing, substitute a tablespoon of mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt. Other great add-ins: chopped celery, walnuts, craisins or cubed ham. Make sure the peas are fully thawed to avoid a watery salad.
