Classic Pea Salad

 Ingredients

1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
4 cups frozen peas , thawed
1/3 cup diced red onion
3/4 cup cubed sharp cheddar cheese (approximately the same size as the peas) (package shredded colby jack)
8 slices bacon ,  cooked crispy and crumbled
Instructions
Put sour cream, mayo, sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl; whisk to combine.
Add peas, onion, cheese, and bacon to the bowl; gently stir to coat completely.
Refrigerate at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with some crispy bacon.
Notes
Any leftovers should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days. I do not recommend freezing this salad, however. The dressing will not hold up very well, and the peas and bacon will get too mushy once thawed.
