What is Pea Salad?

Pea salad is a classic side dish made from sweet peas tossed with ham, cheddar cheese, and red onion, and coated in a creamy and tangy dressing. This salad has a beautiful balance of flavors and is so versatile!

Ingredients for Pea Salad

Here’s what you’ll need to make pea salad:

  • Greek Yogurt: Makes the dressing creamy and tangy with fewer calories and fat than sour cream. We highly recommend Greek yogurt over plain yogurt or sour cream for its thicker texture.
  • Mayonnaise: Adds richness and creaminess to the dressing.
  • White Vinegar: Adds a refreshing tanginess to the dressing to balance the creaminess.
  • Parsley: Adds a pop of freshness.
  • Frozen Peas: Just as bright and flavorful as fresh, these are a great budget option for this salad.
  • Ham Steak: You’ll need a 12 oz. ham steak, or you can use leftover ham or cooked bacon. Vegetarian? No problem! If you leave out the ham, this pea salad is still flavorful and fresh.
  • Red Onion: Adds a bit of bite to the recipe and a wonderful crunchy texture, creating a great contrast to the sweet peas.
  • Cheddar Cheese: Adds a creamy and salty component to this delicious salad.
  • Salt and Pepper: Enhance the overall flavor of the salad.

What Else Can I Add to Pea Salad?

This creamy salad is a great recipe to add leftovers to. We like to add:

  • Leftover short noodles, like macaroni or bowties
  • Finely diced carrots
  • Chopped broccoli florets
  • Raisins or other dried fruits
  • Vegetarian meat substitutes also work well.

Budget-Saving Tip!

If you want to make your money stretch a little bit further, then this is a great recipe to use up any leftover ham that you might have from the holidays. It will help reduce waste and make the recipe cheaper. That’s a win-win!
