Sweet pea salad is a light crunchy side dish. Baby peas are combined with chopped red onion and dried cranberries and coated in a creamy dressing made of sour cream, sugar, vinegar, salt and pepper.
If you have thawed your bag of frozen peas ahead of time, this side dish comes together in about 5 minutes.
I actually brought this dish to serve at my parents Christmas dinner this year. I thought the festive colors of this salad were perfect for a holiday meal. But, it’s not just for the holidays. Sweet pea salad would be great any time of year.
